Shed - Part 6: Siding

I finished installing the siding on the first shed unit this weekend. I used a preprimed 3/8" thick OSB siding panel. Now that the siding is on, the shed is very stiff and doesn't rack at all. The interior is very well illuminated because of the translucent roof, but I am going to install windows the north wall above the doorway any way. I think it will look better and it will guarantee some additional light even in the winter or if the pine needle built up on the roof gets too thick.







I may start framing the next unit now since I'm still exploring ways to do the sliding door and the windows. We'll see. The weather is so nice right now that I may be able to crank through the next two units pretty quickly. Especially since my brother is moving to town and my brother-in-law will be in town for a little while, too. One of us will play with my son while the other builds the shed.

I should install shelving and peg board next. That way I can move stuff into the shed right away and clear out the entryway in the house.
