We are close now. Four more pieces and the shed is protected from the outside. I am pleased with the door. It needs some finishing touches – I need to cut some bolts that extend too far, and scrape the walls as it slides, and add a guide wheel.

Laying the finished floor with the help of four friends. Salvaged 1×4’s and 1×6’s screwed into the subfloor was a quick and painless process. Plus, the morning was beautiful. When we had to quit, the floor was more than three quarters finished.

With the brick finished it was time to frame in the supports for the metal siding that would cap off the north wall. By the end of the afternoon, once the siding was in place, I had an uneasy feeling because I didn’t like the proportion of brick to metal, nor did I feel there was an elegant transition between the materials. Unfortunately, it was time to undo what had been done.
