My Slash Shed

[patricimo54]

I call it my slash shed because it will be multipurpose, covered over head only and open walled. This will make it idea for working on small engines, welding , painting, etc. When the weather gets weird go for cover and move the vehicles underneath. Any way this is what was accomplished today.



It is far from being done, but I am a whole lot closer than I was when I started this thing.



Most of the rafters are in place with some adjustments needed that will happen tomorrow. Still have to by the1"x4" stringers to install. Hopefully tomorrow ;D

Lookin good Pat. ;D I envy you guys that can get away with shallow pitched roofs. Too muchy snow load here for anything less that a 4 pitch.

Keep up the good work. ;D

I have been dealing with painting equipment issues. I have got the metal bought and on the ground. Waiting to paint before I hang it.

[patricimo54]

I finally found an airless rig that I can use, but typical for most of my projects there is always something to slow me down. I under estimated the amount of paint I'd need and ran short. I have to go to Ft. Worth tomorrow so I'll stop at the Home Depot in Weatherford and pick up enough to finish and then some.



The wood was alot more absorbent than I anticipated which called for alot more paint.



The raw wood of the rafters was a little more demanding than I thought they would be and not being familiar with the equipment also contributed to my waste factor.



I was this close to finishing when I ran out.

[maritimer]

You were soooo close pat!!!
If that don't piss a feller off I dont know what would! Nice color selection, looks good ;D

Well I spent the day putting the sheet metal on the roof of my carport/shed today. All I have left to do is to trim off about 2" and then put up the trim.



What a great work space ;D
