A Shed is Born

While Nick and I excavated, Kathryn came for the weekend and worked on building a 10 x 10 storage shed.  This is a project that was supposed to be completed in July so I guess you could say that we're a bit behind schedule.  As our project develops so does the array of equipment we have on site.  The shed will give us a large and secure place to store tools while we continue to work into the winter.

Kathryn cuts a pressure treated 2x6.

The shed will be erected on a level platform resting on pyramid blocks.
We use this type of construction for small structures on our land.
It is quicker and easier than pouring a concrete pad and is stable.

Diagonal bracing provides extra rigidity.

Here at days end, Kathryn attaches the plywood to complete the level platform that will become the floor of the shed.
