Now that the garage is getting closer it’s time for the temporary shed to come down.

South wall up with some more help from the Kubota and ratchet straps. Will need to shim it since the slab isn’t perfectly level.

And I figured out that the nail gun needed to oiled...

Most of the wall sheathed. Missing pieces will be installed when wall is up. Nail gun started given me problems at end of the day. Don’t know if there is a problem with it or just user error.

Nearly finished framing south wall. A good distraction from a tough day.

Minor progress on framing the south wall. Spent the majority of the short day (have a dentist appointment at 2p) making sure the walls are square to each other. The east wall has a couple minor fluctuations.

Returned from Oregon and back at it. Started laying out the south wall and cutting verticals. Had to do some head scratching to make sure measurements were correct (taking into account variation of dimensional lumber and the fact that I-joists are 14 1/8” deep and not the advertised 14”).
