Jim DaddyO Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well, I got the ridge beam up and half the rafters in. It did not take a long time, but it wore my right out. I have just about 9' 2" from the floor to the bottom of the collar ties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Awesome jim, this is really coming along. I think once you start hanging lights, you'll be happy with that ceiling height. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim DaddyO Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Wow, what a day. The guys I hired were champs and got a lot more of the roof done than I thought. The gables got sheathed, the ladders for the eaves on the gable ends are in, all the rafter tails are trimmed, the fascia is all on with nice mitred corners, half the roof is sheathed and shingled with drip edge and ice/water shield put down first. I fed the lads a good lunch and after we packed up for the day, a special treat. Nectar of the Gods. A short day tomorrow ought to finish the roof.

Jim DaddyO Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 That is the finished fascia. Pressure treated 5/4 deck board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim DaddyO Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 They got it all done today. I am dead tired. Now I can have the rest of the day off. My material order was very close. There is only a wee bit of cut off to dispose of. We fed the guys lunch and I am very happy with the results. I had one of the guys take my camera up and snap a few pics. I did get up high enough to peek over....had a death grip on the ladder though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodbutcher74 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Just curious? Around here it is customary to put felt paper down before applying the shingles. Shop looks great and lunch looks even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim DaddyO Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I have the bottom 3' covered with ice/water shield. They usually do a felt under the rest, but I did not in this case. I bought inexpensive 25 year shingles. At 54 I am not sure I will be needing it after that time, but will just get it re shingled if I do. Or, just go over the shingle with metal. I figured if I had to spare something on the tight budget, I would do it in a place that is readily accessible and could be fixed in a rather short time.

Tpt life Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Just curious? Around here it is customary to put felt paper down before applying the shingles. Shop looks great and lunch looks even better. Just an FYI, we have moved to synthetic almost entirely. While the roll seems more expensive, it can come at five feet width and covers more footage at a faster rate. The higher footage makes it cheaper with the installation ease as a bonus. It can be much easier to walk at steep pitches as well, especially wet. The right synthetic grips well after a rain shower while felt paper will not until it is dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semberrg Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Speaking on costs, about how much did this run you from beginning with the sub base to now? I'm looking to do the same thing later this year. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjeff70 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 If one were to build a comparable shed without a contractor we're looking at $1,500-2,000 U.S., in material costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim DaddyO Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 A bit more done today. I did some of the house wrap, preparing to put in windows, of course the staple gun died right near the end of the job. So, I put one of my lights up on the ceiling. They are in the way of painting the floor. They will also have to come down for insulation and sheathing, but I want to get the electric all done and signed off before I start that job.
