FINISHED!! We didn't work much in August, opting to play a little more (like canoeing the river through the valley with the in-laws). We did get the spot in the roof fixed where the roof screws had missed the purlins. We simply backed the screws out, added another purlin right beside the...

Corner Trim: The next morning was the 4th of July. We'd been working on the shed for 4 solid days, and we were ready to take our daughters to town and have a little fun. So, all we did that morning was install the corner trim on the sidewalls. This was relatively easy, (measure, cut, and...

Roofing: For our last full day of this trip, we decided to tackle the roof. It seemed like a good idea to make sure we completed at least one entire roof slope before we left, in case any freak winds came up while we were gone. A partially covered roof slope seems intuitively more vulnerable...

Hello all, I have been reading all sorts of useful information on this forum for months, and although my tractor is just a Husqvarna Garden Tractor, I decided to join and post about my experience building a post-frame style shed at our Cabin in Idaho. Hopefully someone will get some benefit...
