    Did a little more work on the walls. I need to wait until the next paycheck for the remainder of the siding (Christmas gifts for the kids get priority), but I do have 2 on hand. Put one up on the north wall as we are suprose to get more snow early next week.

    Didn't have any saw horses handy, but who needs them when you are a resourceful FHC member right? Just flipped my step ladder on its side! Can't out smart me!

    Now, is there anyone in the market for a slightly used step ladder. It now works best on hills. :)

    Don't want any stepladders! Two of them failed under me this year!
    First one, I felt her going away and grabbed the eave on the way down for a "controlled crash"!
    Second on, ladder shifted, I fell onto ground and hit the side of the building with my back at the same time. A bit sore from that one.
    Both of these ladders were rated for weights greater than me, so no wise cracks!! I think they were just past their life expectancy.

    Now who on FHC would make a wisecrack? :)

    Maybe you need my specially modified ladder? Lol.

    Didn't get too much done today on the shed but I was able to get the steel squared up, and the peak closure strips and screws in to keep the steel in place in case we get a good wind.

    Next weekend I will get the rest of the roof screwed down and the eave closures installed.

    I will also trim off the wild end of the steel and get the last siding panel I have on the west wall.

    Getting excited to get some summer stuff stored in it!

    Long term I'm thinking I will get a solar panel and put some interior lights up also. :)

    OK Eric, I'm done eating, and I figure I got to be at least 5 0r 6 down on the list for the shed building tour. Everybody wants one, I want one too.

    I'm pretty sure I know who tossed it. Wealthy and lazy...a poor combination.
