Shed fer Brains

 

Jo stained the shingles on the finished side (well, the windows need glass, but otherwise...). The trim, now raw, will be painted green.

I mounted the man door as well. I lapped the cedar planks, so it will be fairly weather tight. I rushed the double doors in front and simply butted them together. I'll have to pump some brown silicon in to keep out the snow and rain.

We were determined to have a door that swung OUT so that we could maximize interior space. This means that the latch is basically backwards, but I don't care. It does the job, and I'll add a grab handle later.

Out of three bundles, I've found only one bad shingle, and even that I salvaged, making two narrow ones out of it. I'll have to pause and finish the soffit before I go much higher. Fifteen rows so far!
