Need some help on a carpentry project.

Cheater

 

. . . atleast nobody saw you lol.

 

As much time as I spent on the rafter angle I wish I would have cheated, but she is going to be solid as hell, and a good shed for years to come. Roof and siding will be done by next weekend, and I got a different twist on the window on the right side. I got a piece of 18 x 24 acrylic from Depot for $4, I am going to build a small box screw it to the outside and trim it in 1x's. I am going to put some acrylic silicone around it and wamo, a window. All I need is some light as I am going to leave the eve's open for air.

 

Actually since you put in some ceiling joists I would have just run the rafters uncut and nailed them off to the ceiling joists. The rafter is stronger without material being removed. Of course we're talking about a shed in Tornado Alley. Hopefully it doesn't fly away after you get it finished.

 

LOL , the whole thing might lift off the pier blocks and fly away


In one piece though

 

As long as it goes in one piece I will have done my job!

 

Well project is wrapping up. I got all the shingles, siding, and door done. Need to get a couple more shelves, and a door latch.

 

Congrats man

Looks great

 

Those shelves look perfectly sized to hold your porn collection. Where does the Kegerator go?

 

PS : The Smithsonian wants their Skil saw back

 

haha! asshole! what does the general contractor do, buy a new one every year? The majority of my tools were my grandfathers lol. . .

and it looks great Jeff. Bet you had some good music to listen to to make it look that nice lol.

 

Ha ha, your right I need a new skil saw, that sucker weighs a good 10-12 lbs...but she built one heck of a shed!

 

I listened to a bunch of the tunes you gave me! Kept me going, especially that American Aquarium, really dig that guy, and the Clay Cook.

 

What happened to the 2x6 header over the door??? lol


And did you concrete the pier blocks in?

 

I have a doubled up 2 x 4 header over the door, and doubled 2 x 4's on either side of the door. She is stout as hell. And no the piers are not concreted in, they are sitting on the ground the front two are pretty buried, and the back four are on half blocks that are buried in the ground a few inches. It is on a slope with about a 12" drop between the front and back. I still need to landscape around the house with some rock and what not, and also paint it.

 

You don't actually need a header , the ridge board in this case carries no weight .
