More progress pics. Even though the shed is a reclaimed building I went with new tin for the roof, south side of the roof is finished ,north side has 5 sheets done.If the weather holds up I'll try and get the other side finished next week.

Just spray a bit of form oil along the edge of the previous pour.

Been thrashing on the shed again, skinned the south wall with all the windows in it, what a PIA that was, took 4 days to do that wall with a wee bit of help from the missus. The North wall took a day and a half, finished that wall this morning. I'm using the tin that came with the reclaimed...

Not much progress has been going on with my barn over the last year. That incurable Bonneville salt flat disease has been plaguing me. Started back on the shed with earnest a few days ago, managed to figure out the structure for the East and West endwalls. Here's a picture of the East end nearly...

At the end of the day we were goofing around with the genie lift,here's a couple of pictures from the Genie lift 45ft up in the air :beer:

Yesterday and today we thrashed on the shed some more,shlepping steel out of the pile and bolting columns down and truing them up,and hoisting rafters in the air. I rented a 'Genie' man lift to help bolt the purlins on and stuff like that ,this thing is a must have when building one of these...
