Nice looking building--looks to be strongly made!! Just out of curiousity, what are the turquoise balls on top of the fence posts for?

I could say that is my wife keeps them, but this is a somewhat family oriented group.:laughing:

The fence is around a garden and they are for decoration. I like putting some type of cap on a wooden post to keep water from pooling and spliting/rotting the posts. Even with PT posts, it can be an issue

Finally got the siding on last week.

I decided to go with vinyl. I thought about Hardi Plank, but I already had ~ two squares of the vinyl left over from the house :D, please the vinyl is much easier to work with.

I had the electrican out last Friday and he did a very professional job roughing out the building-did everything to IBC even though I do not have to have an inspection. He did it a very good price.

Next up insulation and drywall (oh my back)

I bet those long gable cuts on the sides were tough if you were using snips to cut the siding. Looks good.

Only used the snips for some small cuts.
Dor the long angle cuts, I used a paneling blade (in backwards) in the skillsaw.

For the cross cuts, I decide to bite the bullet and force myself to buy a sliding compound miter saw :cool:
