You won't have to worry about rust for a while! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Yep, backhoe was the best toy...err...tool... I ever bought! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Along with the tractor, toothbar, loader...whoops, better change that to "one of the best tools..." /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Finally getting things closed up for the coming winter now.

Decided to close in the loft area totally with plywood. This will make it more secure and give me a lockable area to store things that I feel should be behind a locked door...

The four skylights in the closed in area provide more than ample daylight...

Seemed like putting some shelves where that plastic went would be a good idea. The shelves also provided support for the plastic in the middle as the vertical span was about five feet.

Turned out pretty good...still have to make a door for that opening...will be a pretty simple one...but good enough to keep the snow out. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

South wall from the outside...I'm satisfied with the way it turned out.

I had to use a piece of siding that was not weathered above the door...had it leftover from the original construction of the little shed...guess it will match in time...not worried about that anyway...

Finally a place where the entire lenght of my ladders can be under roof and out of the way to boot!

I am going to do something temporary this winter to cover the door openings. I'll worry about real doors next year. I have pretty much settled on roll up doors. Unless I decide that I don't really need doors at all...we'll see how this winter goes I guess... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Looks great Bill, I hope I can do something to cover up my roof openings /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Spencer,

I fear outside working is where we both should be right now!

Hope your weather is not as nice as ours is! You may have an excuse... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

For temporary doors, just make some folding doors out of plywood, or something cheaper now that the price is climbing.

 

[Henro]

Slamfire,

That is just about where my head is at the moment...and I am pretty sure that is what I will do.

Actually, I am now questioning my need for doors of the proper kind. I will know more about that after this winter. The only reason I want to cover the openings is to keep the snow from blowing in. Rain is not an issue. Locking the area is also not an issue...

I am thinking doing exactly what you suggest...that plywood is pretty high for sure. Maybe the 1/2 inch pressure treated is still near its old price...will have to take a look...
