Thanks Scott,
The positive reinforcement is much needed.

You just killed me with your "moving" pics….since I will have that coming up shortly. OMG!


The new shed is awesome Tommy. It's quite the project -- and you appear to have a good handle on it now.


I don't need to tell you -- that getting that first piece of metal roofing "square" is critical. If it's off just a bit - by the time you get to the far end -- it's a big OOPS! LOL

When I framed my Shop a few year's ago. The concrete guy's got the slab 2 out of square on one side. Man was it tuff getting the roof metal to look good down the one gable end. I was so pissed. Lookin good man.

Tom,
Your new shop is looking great! We are getting ready to move down to southern Indiana here in the next couple months. Will be building a new house and a shop. I would love to stop in and get a peek at your place sometime if that would be possible? I have been watching you project and really like what you have done. Would like to see it in person to get a size perspective.

Good luck on getting it finished!

Yeah Scott, I'm sure we're a little out of whack but I do have a plan to split differences and make it look right... Can you caulk metal roofing?

Tom, there's a caulking product called geocell will stick and seal to any clean metal surface.I used it to help seal around my wood stove chimmey gasket.

Here's a picture of what has been going on with the shop build all winter... I'll have some more exciting pictures to come within a day or two. I promise!

Thanks Greg! Working on the shop is a nice change of pace from turning wrenches and we're enjoying the build. We'll be careful with the metal roofing for sure. It's tough going from a product like wood that has some give and is never perfect to start with to product like metal that is "true". Others have done it and made it look good from the ground, so I am confident we can too.
