Since our upcoming house will be off-grid, we need a place to run & store a generator near the build site. We also need a secure place to store building supplies, and tools that we can keep out of the weather while building the house. So, a small shed adjacent to the house seemed like a logical prerequisite. This weekend I will hopefully finish the roof, but here are some picts of the progress so far.
Commodity lumber prices are just above $1,000 per thousand board feet. Thankfully I only have to buy sheet goods, but 3/4″ cdx plywood is going for over $60 per sheet and T1-11 is currently $51 per 4′ x 8′ sheet. Ouch!
Sarah recently got COVID, and shortly thereafter so did I. We were both current with our shots, so the symptoms have been manageable at home.

| Poured 9 concrete pads for the 6×6 cedar posts. |
|
| Went ahead and put R-19 insulation in the floor before building 2×4 walls. We may have solar batteries in here, which would benefit from insulating the building. |
 |
| 12/12 pitch on the roof so I can have a little loft area overhead. |
 |
| Making 1×4’s for the metal roof from chainsaw milled pine. Installing them is today’s project. |
