Week 10: November 23 - 29


Week 10 we are working on the 10' x 12' shed. In the picture above we are working on the left facing wall, nailing in place the sole plate. We will eventually move onto securing the top plates of this wall with the top plates of the front and back walls. We have to secure the bottom plate to keep it from moving away from or over the snapped line on the subfloor.


Laying out the top and bottom plate for the right facing wall...


Here we are securing the second top plate to the first. The second top plate will overlap the front and back wall top plates, locking the walls in together.


Here the front and back walls are braced so that we can focus on the left side wall, without fear of moving the front and back wall out of alignment. Also cleaning the shed out so there's no debris in the way.


In this picture we are pulling the diagonals for the left wall. We are doing this so we can determine if the left wall is perfectly square. If not, we will make adjustments until it is so.
