Better, but not....

Better

but not yet best. Might not ever be, or at least not for a long time.

But the stomach has finally settled and I will go back to work tomorrow.

Scavenged material resulting in 17 2x4x8's (x $2.50 each =$42.50) and 4 2x6x8's (x $3.00 each = $12.00 more). So about $54.50 in lumber for the 12x16 shed going up on the land. I just changed the design from a 5/12 shed roof to a 12/12 gable roof, thus increasing the cost by about 40% but increasing the useable space by almost 100%. Now I will be able to store 16' lumber in the loft, a big plus when you're trying to build a house. The down side is that the increased floor space makes over 200 sq feet of floor, and a building permit is necessary; $50 and a four page form.

The black flies have arrived. KT wants a screen porch on the new house. They are as bad as I remember.
