Wierd though it may be, I love power tools! So, there we were putting up the rafters, very much a two-person job, so that Scottie could get the rest done before leaving for San Diego.
When you have X amount to spend on a shed and limited real construction experience, the best way seems to be a kit. Scottie, ever the perfectionist, has strengthened it every step of the way. It's got screws, not nails; it's got stiffening between the floor joists; it's got the "optional" floor that I personally don't see how you could do without unless you wanted to pour concrete.
So he continued working, working, working and got the rest of it put together. We still have to shingle the roof and attach the two doors, but that can wait until he gets back from San Diego. For now, it's under roof and safe in the elements. (Spots on this photo are rain drops on the camera lens; it's started and supposed to go on and on and on.)
After finishing all this, Scottie faced about a 6 hour drive, arriving SD last night about 10 PM. I swear he's 69 going on 12. That man has energy enough for 2 or 3 people. I'll rest while he's gone.
