| Days 4-6: Walls, rafters and roof boards. | |
|
Not too exciting, but here's a picture of all of the sided walls on top of the floor. I think this is the only picture you'll see taken during daylight hours. During this point, none of the windows or doors had been cut out of the siding. A little later on my brother, Joe, and I used a jig saw to cut out these pieces from the walls. |
|
In this picture Joe and Lauren are working to get the walls raised and screwed together. This was a MAJOR task! The studs were so close to each other at the corners, that we had to screw in the 3 inch screws by hand and then by ratchet since the drill was too big. I believe out of four corners, only one was able to screwed together with a drill. |
|
Woo hoo! The walls are up! After several grueling hours of getting the walls screwed together, we quickly screwed the walls into the floor. |
|
Once the walls were fastened, we added the gabled ends. Thank goodness these came shipped pre-assembled. I can't imagine putting these puppies together. Anyway, you can see the holes in the gabled ends for my vents; one of which will be used for my ventilation! :) |
|
I took this picture right after we hung the ridge beam between the gabled ends. Aren't Joe and Lauren cute? |
| Day 5 | |
|
My parents came over on day 5 to help me set up the rafters, however, since we didn't have instructions on how to use the brackets that came with the rafters, we used them incorrectly. As such, my brother and I removed the rafters the next day and got them back up again...the correct way. This picture shows the completed rafters. |
| Day 6 | |
|
This picture is pretty bad since it's so dark, and the photo was taken from a good distance, but you can see my brother and I nailing down the cedar roof boards. Once the first row was nailed down, adding the rest of the roof boards was easy and quick! |
|
The roof boards are done! Check out how rustic the shed is starting to look! From the inside, the ceiling looks really nice! I just have to have the final cedar board cut to fit the gaps at the top of the roof, and then we'll be able to move on with adding the plywood over the cedar board. |
|
I took this picture just as it started to rain. You couldn't have timed it better! We got the roof up, and then the first drop fell. In this picture, you can see the completed roof and the vents I had just screwed into place. |
