Garden shed VI

 

Last Friday's goal:

put those PABCO Premier shingles on the roof.

 

 

Getting started.

He hit his thumb with the waffle-head hammer not once,

not twice, but three times. Ouch!

 

 

 

At the end of the day, roofed and two windows are in!

 

 

 

Putting the cap on the peak. Hammer scored one more.

 

 

 

Ready for the arched window.

 

 

 

Little shed's looking nice.

 

 

Next: doors...

 

 



Garden shed V

 

At last, my opportunity to contribute to the cause:

facial and trim boards need to be painted.

Soldier on, Kim.

 

 

Friday morning before heading to work I took in the views.

 

 

Friday evening after work: trusses are up!

 

 

Numbered for correct placing.

 

 

Saturday morning, getting ready for more sheeting.

Dean's here to help again.

 

 

At the end if a very wet day.

 

 

Sunday, tar paper.

 

 

Fearless husband sawing at the peak.

 

 

Putting up those freshly painted boards.

 

 

Don't they look good?

 

 

Dean here once again to help cover the roof.

 

 

Now we have a black box with white trim.

 

 

Next weekend... roofing.

 

Garden Shed IV

 

The IRS came through right on time.

Dale was ready to buy materials for framing the walls

and in Thursday's mail... refund check!

 



Friday morning early... off to the lumber store.

The sill plates were measured, drilled and put in place.

 

 

Assembly in his shop.

He loves the saw he found on Craig's List!

 

 

 

Brother Dean helps move the front wall into place.

 

 

Can you see a red door and 9-pane windows?

Window boxes and flower pots along the front?

A hummingbird feeder between the windows?

A comfy chair for basking in the morning sun?

 

 

Nailing down the back wall.

 

 

A brother's help is much appreciated.

(Lord knows Kim couldn't haul a wall!)

 

 

 

 

Three walls up!

 

 

It snowed again Saturday night and freezing rain iced things up,

but Dean came the next morning to help with the big end wall.

 

 

It just fit through the garage door.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Someone said it looked like a church window.

Hmmm... my new quiet place?
