Roof Framing is Done! March 27, 2016

I really can't believe it's been a whole month since I have worked on this project my blog at least helps keep me accountable for wasting of time.

Co-pilot (and yes she knows how to use the armrest on her own)



Now I am ready for T1-11 siding, kickboards and 2'x12' Galvanized roofing. Next trip I should be able to get roofing and 50-75% T1-11 done. Then the last trip will finish everything up. Then on to a small wooden paddock fence (The rest of the property is fenced with posts and electric just need a charger for that.) This took longer then I thought to build. I need to get more creative with holding everything up there by myself.

First Run In Shed Under Construction 2/28/2016

So I've had a dream for awhile now that I want to own race horses. A few years ago I even bought a piece of land out in NY so I could have those dreams but things happened and time flew by.  But here I am now taking more steps to get moved out there I am building a tiny home (bluesurfdog.com)to move out there and my first run in shed I am building has more sqft then my tiny home (horses come first). Two months ago I had my note pad of graph paper and was sketching the run in and how many 2x4 it would take and the dimensions today I made it start to happen.
Truck to lower part of the frame up in 1 hour and 15 minutes I did have everything pre-cut. I just need to get everything ready for the roof exterior walls and kick boards and some boards on the bottom to be able to have skids for it if I wanted to move it.
