Shed - Part 13: Paint

I painted the shed even though it was windy and rainy this last weekend (not really recommended). The paint brand that I painted the new parts of the house is no longer available so I had to get a match. The matched paint is close (a hair darker). The big square is the original and the small square is the new paint. The brand of paint is available in Canada, but I don't think I'll be driving to Vancouver just for paint.

I'm only painting the north and south wall of the shed right now. The east and west walls will be enclosed so they don't really need paint. One gallon of paint covered the front and back.

Here are some shots of the finished paint job.

My wife and I tried to get our two-year-old to help paint, but he didn't want to wear his painting smock (one of my old T-shirts). He went inside and took a three and a half hour nap instead.

Shed - Part 12: Glazing, Siding, and Window Unit 3

I got a lot done last weekend (and last night). The roof glazing, the siding, and the window are now all done for unit 3. Hooray! My wife and I have also decided to modify the additional sections on either end. We've decided to forgo the hot tub and enclose the west pad for gardening equipment storage (lawnmower, wheelbarrow, etc.). The east section will still be home for the table saw but will now be enclosed. Both the east and west sections will have bi-fold doors.

The color scheme will be the same as the house (blue with white trim, and natural wood for the doors).

The next steps are to paint the north and south sides of the shed and then install the sliding doors. I suspect I can get my two-year-old to help me paint.

Shed - Part 11: Framing Walls and Rafters Unit 3

A three day weekend with some free time equals shed work. Yay! I got the walls and the rafters framed for unit 3.
