Finished Walls!

Sonotubes

Since I have such a large door opening, in addition to many windows on the south side, I wanted to give some additional support for the weight of the roof. I decided to go with two vigas on either side of the entrance with a horizontal beam running across them. This will take the brunt of the roof beam weight for that 5.5' span. I was a little scared because I had never used cement before but it was easy! Had a bit left over so decided to use the leftovers for this tamper I've been meaning to make since April!

All That Rain...

 So I moved into the shed.

Rain! Rain!

There's been rain. My road turned into a pond in ten minutes flat. The main road had a a serious pond for two days and it's still wet. Saturday was the heaviest but it's been keeping up ever since. There were beautiful lightning storms right above me--luckily I got my steak and broccoli cooked and my butt in the car before it all started.

Bits and Pieces

Kevin went out of town about a week ago for two and a half weeks so I've been taking this time to tie up all sorts of loose ends. Sawhorses were in desperate need. Oh yeah, so was a shed. So I constructed one out of some of my scrap wood. Looks like a little red barn to me. All said and done it took less than 4 days and needs one more to finish it off. There's going to be a metal roof but I'm waiting to find some cheap scrap pieces to throw on there instead of buying new. I think. For now I have a tarp on top. Also, I need a bit more 1x4 to finish the sides, in addition to a door that I'll either need to find or make.
