The best part of retirement and having more time is job security. The list grew too.

It's taken me months of work to be weeks behind

It’s way too wet now to even think about moving anything. I think I might go ahead and put new osb siding on to replace rotten ones. Fortunately I have a few sheets in my barn from when it was $7 a sheet.

We're getting a couple showers a week. 1/4" or less. Not making it deep muddy yet, just sloppy. And keeping the farmers out of the fields. We should be in the 60s-70s daily. Right now it's cloudy, damp, 42F with stiff NW winds. Another day of no field drying....

Couple new pieces of siding on today.

I think the paint cost more than the panel.

These panels have been in my barn for years. $7 each. So far over $150 in paint. The front wall with the double doors are going to get rebuilt.
If I hadn’t already had these I would have used plywood. OSB soaks up a lot of primer. But I have them taking up space.

This is the before and after pictures. This is the side where the bricks used to sit against the shed.

Originally framed to put a man door in, I had a piece of OSB screwed over the hole. I haven’t put new studs behind this area yet.
Should have put in a new bottom plate on the studs, old piece pretty rotten on the outside edge. I’ll do the 3rd one later, the front and other side is worse.
The front right wall will need a new bottom plate. Electric comes up through it, so will have to remove that for awhile.

Need some z channel on top of the new panels when I do the tops.

Too bad I didn’t take picture in landscape mode.

When you install your flashing over your top edge, its a good idea to leave a gap between the flashing and bottom edge of top panels. Allows bottom edges to dry after wind-driven rain. Extra paint/sealer on those bottom edges also helpful-especially if you cut them-pobably will have factory edge pointing down, though.

Are you installing sidling? On your electrical box, might not be a bad idea to mount on a block of pvc with some washers between block & electric box to keep the back from rusting.

I built a shed (really more like a closet) for boat gear using Huber Zip panels. Back then they were 24$ each. I think they are 70$ now. No more cheap projects. Maybe the guys at the lumber yard will let me pick through the culls pile. The Zip penels are holding up to the weather pretty well.
