It also means you can hang bulky stuff off the outside walls if you need to.

Perfect place to hang ladders...under the eaves.

I'm thinking hoses now, too. Maybe some shovels or other tools.

I worked for another few hours last night on the workshop, and I managed to hang one lousy board. It's the rest of the ridge beam extending out the front of the shop. I did a lot of measuring, marking, and cutting before I was ready to hang it. Then, my framing nailer decided to go on strike... it would only drive the nails about halfway. I don't know what the problem was, but after some oiling, cleaning, and adjusting I managed to finish the one board. One other complication in this whole mess was that I realized I had set the west side of my window framing 1 1/2" too far out (I put the 2X4 on the wrong side of the mark). So, I had to fix that too.

Hopefully I can make more progress tonight.

Get the IPL for you nail gun. It's only O-rings and maybe a hard plastic drive ring and there is nothing to rebuilding one. I paid a place over $40 to fix my Senco SN1 finish nailer. It recently quit again and I fixed it for $12 in parts.

Ouch!:eek: Still, you can count your blessings that it was not something you had welded into place and had to use the angle grinder and cutting blade to correct. I will NOT talk about how I know!:smiley_aafz:

Thanks to all for the replies. I put up the last of the rafters on the south end of the shop. I still need to put in the horizontal pieces for the lookout, and then I go back to the north end. If I can keep up with the pace I have, I'll be ready to sheet the roof on Monday when my dad and brother are available to help me.

I did pretty good this morning, but then I got rained out after dinner. Here is a picture of this afternoon's progress. I didn't get much farther than what you see in the picture.

I guess that we'll have to do some more framing on Monday before we sheet the roof.
