decking screws

by

I finally have all I need to complete the flooring., Including the cup of coffee. No, I don’t have the nail gun yet. Still waiting. So I picked up a box of decking screws to finish mounting the proboard.

 

first light & various electrical

by

I see the light!  FT and I installed the suite’s first light.  I decided on 4″ flush-mount LEDs throughout.  Also, the first tearing out of old electrical to make way for new circuits, including a 15A GFCI for the kitchen.  I’m getting pretty agile at crawling through the attic space.

 

shed floor framing

by

FT & I worked a little on the floor framing on the shed today.  I added the top sheathing of the partition wall.  Rene saw me holding the sheathing up and looking down at my screws & driver.  He helped hold it up whilst I fastened it to the framing.  It doesn’t quite meet the top, but it is a shed.

Cripples are hung on blocking where the 1/2″ plywood meet.

Then came landscape fabric and shovelling of the drainage gravel to fill in the gaps.

I was able to fit all of Rene’s stuff (carts & all) into his half of the shed.  Finally, no shopping carts in the yard!

Then came the fun part!  Power washing!

We began washing the fence, too, in preparation for paint.

new shed plywood & OSB

by

Building material prices have gone up and down a lot lately.  I picked up a few sheets of OSB & plywood for the shed today.  We have to cut the bottom off the exterior sheathing (rotten, chipped, dried, dirty, ugly) and put an actual floor in it.

shed on beams

by

We put the shed on 4×4 treated beams today.  What a task!  This shed is heavy and likes to bend into a parallelogram.
