Two shed projects started this week. A little one for a friend’s generator and a big one for me. Thankfully I have help.
Not help with the actual building. Oh no, don’t think that. These guys are more managerial. They lean toward the supervisory roles.
I figured I would start with the large shed floor. That would give me a nice level spot to build the little one. Maggie was excellent at quality control and made sure the layout looked correct.
Once I got going Grey settled in to his new role as site safety officer. He was very observant!
You may recognize the pieces laying around in the background. The large shed will be the salvaged one I got a while back. It’s been stacked in the yard waiting for me to finish my last fencing job. Now I need to stand it up before the snow flies.
Freezing weather is also the timeline for the little shed. Its purpose is to house a small genny that will be used to power a heat lamp hanging over a water pump. Only needed in cold days AND when the power goes out.
Unfortunately Grey gave in to his dark side. We caught him in the act taking material from the site. Maybe he has plans for a doghouse?
These two projects are being done over the course of a couple weeks. I do it in between other client work. I am really happy too be getting both done. My mind will rest a lot easier.
After putting the gen shed in place we have decided to replace the metal roofing. I used some salvage stuff I had but she has some nicer stuff leftover from the pump house roof. I should have known, since I also built the pump house!
Lifting the walls up single handed was a bit of a grunt, especially the back wall. It’s heavier than you would think. Even heavier yet considering Maggie the building inspector insisted on climbing on it like a goat while I was moving it into place.
