Gutters hooked up to a rain barrel are on the list, but I need to finish painting first. There will be a bark dust or gravel border eventually as well. I'm in Beaverton on the west side of Portland.

I got the body of the shed painted. The trim will be bright white, like the windows. Here's a few pix.

We have different expectations. I'm planning on storing holiday decorations and stuff I never use. None of which is really heavy. If I was going to store car parts in it, I could see there possibly being an issue. As it is now, it's heavier built than anything on the market in my area.

How many nails are needed to hold up each 2"x6"? There are 3 16d nails in each 2"x6" and 3 in each 6" section of 2"x4" under the 2"x6". I'm 330lbs and it felt sturdy to me while I was crawling around up there screwing down the sheeting. Obviously I'm not storing engines up there. The 2"x4"...

It's been a while since my last update. My loft is finished. I used 2x6's and 7/16" strand board(thinner than I wanted, but that's what was available). The main area is 10' wide and 8' deep. The small section is 8' wide, and 30" deep. Here are some pics.

I'm almost ready for paint. But the bottom of the shed is dirty. What should I clean it with before I paint? It's Duratemp t1-11

Roof is done! I started trimming out my roll up door. I have 2"×3" flashing on the bottom, 1"×5" trim around. And I think I'll be running this under the door overlapping the flashing. http://www.elitegaragefloors.com/xtreme-weather-guard-6-wide-xl-overhead-door-threshold-9-kit/

Most of my shingles are on, and I trimmed back the tree. Tomorrow I'll cut the opening in the tar paper for the ridge vent, and install the ridge vent and ridge shingles.

I have learned a lot

To start, a 10x8 loft built with 2x6's and 5/8" plywood. I installed my roll up door today. Now I need to trim the opening and make a sill.

Pictures of my framing are on page 1 and 2. I see what you're asking now. I'm not using any. I have doubled 2x4 sandwiched with 1/2" plywood above and below the window. With 3 cripple studs above and below them. With the proximity of the next two studs, I wasn't worried about jack and...

For which opening?

Double post

I cleaned my cheap windows today. And the free one has stuff in between the glass. It was free, but now I have an opening that's not standard and a crappy looking window. I'll see what replacing the glass will cost vs ordering a window.

Tar paper, trim, and gable flashing installed. Window installed, tar paper trimmed back.
