    My dad came down over the weekend to help with framing. I was extremely thankful to have him there, as we knocked a lot out! We've built things together over the years - deer blinds, decks, boat upgrades - but nothing to this level. It went fairly smooth (I did slip with the razor saw, cutting bird's mouths, and will have a nice little scar from that one), and I have an ideal point to continue working on my own as time allows.









    My next video showing all this work will go live later today, so I will post that link so you can see the work in real time (sorta).

      For the long run, I would have used treated 2x4’s for the bottom plate and a foam seal but other than that it’s looking good.

        Yeah, I got that advice after it was all up (I should have known beforehand), so I went back and treated the bottom plate as best I could. I also bought some heavy duty sealant to "caulk" between the board and the concrete that I'll put on before I start sheathing.

                        Absolutely! He's my hunting buddy, too, though I don't get to see him as often now that we moved to the coast. We enjoy taking on projects together, and I cherish learning from him (and in some cases, teaching him new things).

                          I didn't get near as much "big" stuff done this week, but the workshop is coming along. I built the end gables, and reinforced them across the rafters with 2x4 straps.







                          Putting the OSB roof sheathing on by myself was a challenge, but by the time I finished, I had developed a workable strategy. About halfway through, I found myself stuck on a ladder, holding the 4x8 sheet in place, with nothing to secure it. I tried calling my wife (who was in the house) but her phone was off. I got it figured out, but I definitely learned some lessons on preparation with that one.



                          Finally, I was seeing some pretty extreme frame racking, so I broke down and bought some OSB (for $45/sheet ) and reinforced the corners. It's back to level, and rock-solid now!



                          It's really starting to look like something now, and I have a better feel for the final space. I think it will do nicely for my purposes.



                          I'll post the next video link below.

                            This episode is a little longer - lots to cover with building the eave frames and reinforcing them, sheathing the roof, and adding the OSB corners.

                            Check out Episode 3:

                              I was cringing seeing roof decking go on with no wall bracing![emoji51][emoji51]

                              You need to get the rest of your wall sheathing on pretty soon. You now have a parachute, and that’s sketchy this time of year.

                                Great insight! Let me ask - should i put more focus on sheathing the rest of the walls, or getting the roofing finalized? I don't want the roof OSB to get ruined if we get a bunch of rain. Thoughts?
