Week 25: April 17 - 23


Week 25 I'm working on installing the bevel siding on the 10'x12' shed. The first piece of clapboard has been cut to length and installed with a 7d ring shank nail through the siding, into each of the furring strips.


Making pretty good progress up the side of the building. All pieces are cut to length and installed with a consistent reveal.


Had to pause once I had almost reached the top of the window. A drip cap, to shed water away from the building, needed to be bent up and installed over the top of the window. This needs to be done, before the rest of the siding could be put into place.


The brake, for bending the coil stock.


Mock up installation of a drip cap over the window. 


My own drip cap, cut to the appropriate size, with a 1/4" overhang over the edges of the window. 


The drip cap must extend 4" up the side of the building, from where the window trim meets the wall. Here my drip cap is pinned in place with galvanized roofing nails.


And finally, the bevel siding is complete! We're just missing some frieze boards over the top part, where the pads and top of clapboard meet.
