Week 20 March 6 - 12

Catching up here on some things from Week 19, painting the exterior trim of our 10 x 12 shed.

Here I am laying out the rafters on the top plate of our wall.

Cutting the rafter pattern with the miter saw so that we would have the straightest, truest cuts to trace onto all of the other rafters.

Finish cutting out the rafter tails with my handsaw.

Using my skill saw to notch out the end of the rafters, for the fascia to sit below the crown molding.

And finally, the beginning of week 20 here. The 10 x 12 shed is completely wrapped in Typar house wrap. I will post pictures of the other types of house wraps in the next weeks post.

Here I have bracing inside or our dormer mock up shed. This will make it easier for us to do sheathing and all of our exterior work, without having to worry about anything being in the way. We also used this bracing to shift the ridge so it would be plumb.

The LSL lumber we are using to frame the window openings.

Notch cutting for the gable end studs. 1 1/2" deep with a roughly 45 degree angle.

And finally the back wall of the shed with all of the gable stud framing in place! Happy Spring Break!
