Building the Woodshed (Day Two)

The first thing Kristi said this morning when I started sawing down the extra lengths of 4x4s was, "Your parents are not going to approve."  "Sorry Dear," was my reply, "where do you think I learned how to do it this way?"

Yes, that is a chainsaw in my hands.

 Haul the metal roofing out.

Slide it into place (harder than it sounds when you are bulldogging a 16 foot long piece of sharp metal).

Then you "just" screw it into place!

Tomorrow, painting and moving the wood pile into its new home.

Building the Woodshed (Day One)

Following the news is what I do when I am kept from doing those things that I would rather be doing.  Today I got to start on the wood shed.

First we set the corners:

Then we tied it together at the top.

And then added the rafters.  Tomorrow I will place a couple of more posts in the ground to support the horizontal spans and screw the metal roof in place.  If I get an early enough start, I might even paint the thing.

A word of thanks to Tim M!  He was a lot of help.  I need someone to keep me honest so as not to give up and make that baby square!
