What did you do today?

[dbhost]

Well fertilizer...

I dug around in the attic. Not a fun excersize BTW... and only found one of the sets of shelving. And it is 36 not 48 inch... Guess Home Depot gets more of my money. Yay for them...

[dbhost]

So there is the pic. The from this perspective, trim at the roof on the rear right still needs to be finished, but that is also in the area of the lawn that never really gets sun and is, well a muck hole. So I need to stabilize the ladder first. All the thin spots of orange are now plenty thick, and the trim DOES have orange paint sealing it up, so it is a cosmetic issue now, not a protection issue. Oh and FWIW, I know I am within the HOA limits as my 8' ladder is a mere 6" shorter than the peak of this shed, so they did what they were supposed to and the HOA can pound sand... It does block the view from the back bedroom window, but I honestly don't care...

***UPDATE***

Paint trim work DONE. Brushes / roller / sprayer cleaned up.

Looking for hanger hooks in my spares to mount up the ladders... Yay...

[dbhost]

Spent some time painting trim on the shed, I have paint drips to fix now, and the trim on the back of the shed and I can move on to setting up shelving. I thought the side wall of the shed would be a good place to move my fiberglass ladders to as well...

UPDATE: Working as things with the job ebb and flow. Finished up 7/8 of the trim, touched up the paint drips, and a few weak spots the sprayer didn't cover as well as I had hoped. My yard has some muddy patches, and where the ladder needs to go to get up wto the remaining bit of trim is one of them. Will lay out some of OSB cutoffs to keep the ladder from sinking in after work and finish it off...

Will wait until either late tonight, or early tomorrow before work starts to get the surplus shelving units I have been stowing in the attic forever down. Probably tomorrow so the attic isn't quite so warm...

I believe I have 2 of them upstairs, and I have 1 in use in the garage, plus one wire bakers rack that used to be a LAN / Server rack many years ago... So 6ft tall x 4ft long x 18" deep. As the actual floor space isn't quite 12' long, I will be happy with putting 2 of the racks on either side, and then buying new 36" long but otherwise matching size racks... I need to install vents in this thing. The builder was supposed to be no end vents... For the price I paid no shock either...

My wheel barrow is more or less trash right now. I could use one but it will HAVE to be housed in the shed. So I guess there will be some wheel barrow hanger shopping going on as well...

[dbhost]

You know I have too much limb / small diameter trunk debris. I need to "cookie" a bit of it. I was actually thinking about just making Crepe Myrtle cookie coasters for some gifts this upcoming holiday season...

[Dedpedal]

I had this cookie cutoff of Magnolia from a branch that came down in a hurricane last year. I e been staring at it awhile now and this jumped out.

[dbhost]

Worked in the office today, ran the bus home early so I could finish off my day at home. And then slammed out the door trim on the shed...

Managed a couple of paint drips I am going to have to chase down later, but tomorrow assuming the same routine, I need to get the roof ends sealed up so if rain hits later this week, I won't have any exposed wood...

Seriously dislking the OSB on the ramp deck. the shed floor doesn't flex but oh boy does that ramp!

[dbhost]

Not yet. Not required but a good idea... honest didn't think about it until afterwards hurricane straps can be added as long as I have the walls unfinished... Anchors will have to be driven slightly outboard...

[capncarl]

Is the new shed anchored to ground with Hurricane straps?

[dbhost]

The thin spots were ticking me off. Went out with a roller and made quick work of them. Back to drying...

[dbhost]

Ended up with a fhin spot or two that will be touched up with a brush later this week, but overall happy with the spray guy and the short work it made of painting this shed.

Touch up and trim later this week, then start setting up the shelving!

[dbhost]

Not going to lie, I am wearing a bunch of paint right now. I gave up on the roller idea after a medium nap roller kept missing all sorts of textures in the T1-11. I went to Harbor Freight to solve my problem, I got their clearanced airless paint sprayer. this is NOT an HVLP or turbine, but basically a Wagner Power Painter gizmo. $40.00 for a LOT less labor, sold!

Got ti home, read the instructions, thinned the paint which took a while getting it right. Got the left side of the shed the doors finished and part of the front of the shed finished before I ran out of my proper viscosity paint. I need to dillute what is left in the can but I am running out of oomph for today...

Part of me just wants to finish spraying it, and maybe if I feel generous down the road painting the trim by hand down the road...

[dbhost]

It didn't take long for the paint to dry. Mounted up the barrel bolts to secure the semi fixed door, and installed a hasp to the doors to secure this shed. Found key matching master lock so now the shed and the deck box where my fuels are stored away from the house, have a common key.

Not sure if anyone has gotten the idea yet, but I am trying to minimize the number of keys I have on my keychain. It would be cheaper if I just would have kept separate keys, but I can't tell you how many times I have tried to open a toolbox and took me 10 minutes to find the key.

The temps are already shooting up already today, will try to paint the trim since it is raw wood, the siding is actually that pre finished stuff so I can wait a little bit, not too long though. If I have enough in me this weekend, will get all of it done, just not sure about that.

Oh FWIW, the paint is Behr porch and floor paint. The stuff is supposed to be used on wood porches with high traffic / wear and lots of water, so I figure shed floor would like it. And yes, the OSB drinks up the paint pretty badly...

[dbhost]

It's early still but I got the floor in the shed painted and I started on the trim on the door to dry so I can install the door hardware and I can finally lock this thing up

[dbhost]

So my shed guy accelerated the schedule, and I no longer have the weekend to clean up the back yard, and the spot the shed will go is not fully cleared yet. But the shed goes in tomorrow... The shed crew may have about 10 minutes of extra work if I can't get to it by then.

I'm looking forwad to getting this part done and over with. I still need color match paints, and probably some sand and pavers to connect the patio to the shed...

And move my junk from garage to shed, at that point, garage is 100% shop space finally...
