I've put about 2-3in of gravel under the shed and all around.

I did put a motion sensor on the outdoor overhead light, love it specially this on the path to the house so it provides some lights from the driveway to the house at night. Inside just a plain switch.

Thanks for pointing that out. I fixed the links.

Now that it's done, she is. :)

No color change on the gutter. Just a coat of white exterior . Looks like the gutter was previously painted some time back. Siding the garage is a job for next year. I might start earlier than the 4th of july. Don't want to be working in that heat again all summer plus my wife might want to go...

I definitely will document the rest of the build. First I will tackle the outside of the garage. It will need to be resided just like the shed. The will be a project of its own. Then I will work on the inside. The problem is that those are not top priority projects from my wife's...

Painting and Vinyl Siding Installation Not much to see on the painting side. Too some time to tape the door windows, hinges and knobs before I could spray paint everything. This is not the fun jobs but will give a nice finished look in the end. Then on to the final home stretch: The Vinyl...

:3gears: On the finish line. I can see then end but everytime I think I have down to the last step I come up with yet something else I forgot. I'll get there. I have a bunch of family coming from abroad early october. I have to be done before then.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had to change the way I share images with Google photos.

Electrical & Painting So here comes the part where things are not going to visually progress quickly. There are a lot of little details that are going to eat time but that are necessary to be done. Nonetheless, I was able to wire 2 circuits to the shed, 1 for lighting and 1 for power outlets...

Thank you for the support, advice and suggestions on this build. I did learn a lot from this forum.

Any suggestions on manufacturers for Cedar Shakes Vinyl Siding?

Great idea. Thanks for the tip.

I'm no expert framer so I won't pretend this was done with any other intent to provide solid support for the overhang. Given it's size (only 12in) I could have probably butted the 2x4 without going through the next 2 rafters. I can't recall where exactly the idea came from but I must have seen...
