The shed goes just in front of the ATVs We started by pulling a few stumps and leveling and tamping a base for the 4x4 sleepers. 2x6 floor joists 16 in. on center 3/4 T&G plywood floor Set up to build walls The first wall plumb The second wall framed and ready to be sheathed. Three walls and counting... Now it's starting to look like something File: 100_1964.JPG - Date: 2009:08:11 20:11:32 The first pair of rafters takes more time than all the rest combined.

We still have to install that window. It's nice to have a place to store the ladder. (and ATVs, kayaks, lumber etc.) We plan to have the kayak hang from pulleys. We still need a ramp to the door. (And some trim boards, and a window, and some paint...) File: 100_2113.JPG - Date: 2009:09:21 10:35:59 It looks nice and bright, but without the camera flash it's quite dark. The window will help, but a light would be nice. File: 100_2125.JPG - Date: 2009:09:21 10:41:00
