Shed Progress<\/p><\/div>\n

I made a great deal of progress on my shed over the weekend. I’ve finally completed a fix on the edge of the roof where the overhang was too short, and I got the front portion of the sheeting cut and placed. I’ve called it stubborn progress as it took quite a bit of will power to keep working after the sun had zapped a great deal of energy out of me. I worked slowly, kept a bottle of cool water nearby, and constantly rewarded myself by looking at the progress from a distance.<\/p>\n

In order to secure the sheeting near the peak, I had to place the ladder shown against the scaffolding and climb to the top. I tied the ladder to the interior roof joists for added insurance. Maybe it was a bit paranoid to tie it up, but I’ve broken a few bones in the past, and even though the heights don’t bother me, the idea of spending another summer in a cast does.<\/p>\n

So now I’m looking at my ever shortening to do list, and it’s starting to feel like I might just be able to pull this off:<\/p>\n

1.) Finish the back portion of the sheeting, and roof eaves.<\/p>\n

2.) Place drip edge around the perimeter of the roof, and lay down a layer of tar paper.<\/p>\n

3.) Place the rubber roofing on the flat portion.<\/p>\n

4.) Install the roof shingles.<\/p>\n

5.) Cover the base of the roof overhang with OSB.<\/p>\n

6.) Add some brown trim<\/p>\n

7.) Run a more permanent electrical connection via a buried line in steel tubing.<\/p>\n

8.) Add interior insulation to keep me warm while I’m building furniture in the winter.<\/p>\n

For now, I’m looking forward to a day free of soreness. I’m not used to climbing up and down a ladder all day long. Oh well, the permanent result is definitely worth the temporary sacrifice.<\/p>\n
