Anyway, I was determined to get as much done as I could - and I did! Worked hard all day, up and down ladders, monkeying my way around the frame and roof of the shed, 625 nails (all by hand) and it was all worth it for the lovely view from the shed/toilet. (below).
Missed having Tara to talk to (and hold things/and nail things).
A poo with a view - this is our bargain buy, glass doors ($19 for 2) from the Ikea bargain area. Which I have cut down the make a double window (originally 3 panes of glass). They work perfectly.
The weather was nice but I still wanted to get the roof on first just in case it rained like last week.
Tin fitted perfectly and was easy to fix to the batons - bit scary on top of such a small high structure. Still have to put up the fascia around the roof - tidy everything up.
Really happy with the way the roof came out - just need to attach guttering.
Positioning the window - had to knock out some framing to make it fit - reframed around it. Oh and more cladding done.
Window in place - looks really good (surprised!). Cladding done on this side except for a few detailed bits around the window - but that will not take long to do.
Ugly green door (painting it black) is hung and swinging freely - while I was putting the door on it started to rain a bit - the sound of rain on a tin roof - love it.
Underside of the roof is clad - very hard holding and nailing above your head but managed to do it.
Detail from inside the shed - very neat - no gaps - looks professional!
Next time will be finishing off the cladding, installing the step and planting some tomatoes - nearly finished.
