More progress on shed

The shed is going quite well. The paper (well QCAD) designs translated into the wood very well, and the new Ryobi saw cut the various pieces very accurately, including the roof trusses etc which were quite a worry.

Here are a few photos of progress to date. As yet I still have to put the roof on, and build a door and a shutter for the window space, hopefully I will post more when they are done. The shed was dismantled between the naked and topless phases, as it was easier to square up the frames and nail on the cladding with each piece laying on the concrete slab. The first assembly was to get all the holes pre-drilled to attach the four sides to each other, and to the concrete slab. This paid huge dividends, as when it cam time to assemble the shed, the pieces slotted together in seconds, and being perfectly square, all uprights are upright, amd horizontals are flat! With the roof trusses and purlins firmly attached, the shed is completely rigid, no movement in any direction. It's held to the concrete with 14 10mm dynabolts, so is not going anywhere in a hurry!
