I'm gonna guess here and say your shed might be 25'X15'?10' headers?Plenty of room to play in.....lol.I need to put up 1 more shed here too someday.
I've gone cheap before on screwguns and it's a pain.Especially if you really gotta make them work.Constantly going dead batteries are a pain.I was and still am going to buy the old millwaulkie screwgun package.When we built here I was impressed by them.They are'nt cheap.Let the word out for Christmas....lol.
You've got enourmous potential with your place there which I'm sure you know and are doing.
I keep regretting not going off the grid with solar power.Getting a little long in the tooth to make it feasible.Iowa has a whole lot of that going on.
That's nice of you to say that about me but your interests and artistic ability are setting new standards for everybody.That's what's cool about this site.

close 20x24 headers 10 I am getting closers to tin time. I just might squeeze into a finished building before this cold front comes through if the metal arrives on time. If it does not I will be working in 37 degree weather late in the day after the frost melts. I don't like climbing on icy lumber.

Yup, building off each other's contributions, learning from other's mistakes (and being willing to share those mistakes fearlessly), and standing shoulder to shoulder in this odd and unusual anachronistic lifestyle in a world that increasingly wants the easy way out. Yup. You said a mouthful, Ed.

Another update. The Lumber yard loaded the wrong material I only figured it out after we set out the remaining wood to make sure things were working. So we had to stop and make a trip to the lumber yard but managed to get facia boards up on one side. Other good news the order of tin is in so looks like sat morning after we hunt the party is going to put up the tin. We should finish gables on Sunday before gail winds on monday

Looks like you are moving right along, hope you get it all closed in before winter but what the heck I always like working in cold weather, get a little fire going and Life is good. :)
