The "Black Shack"



Looking back to a post on December 31st 2011 shows the initial assembly of a metal car port structure which was purchased with the intention of making it into a wood storage shed.  Condensation is a big problem with metal roofed sheds so our first job in enclosing it was to spray the ceiling with a  2-part expandable foam insulation.  With that complete we framed the two side walls using 2" x 8" which allowed plenty of room to attach the shelves that will hold all of our wood bits.  The sheathing plywood is formwork material purchased at a big discount because the coating was flaking off but worked very well for this job.  The final step for this fall was to wrap the whole thing in black tar paper to keep the wind and wet out.  Siding will be installed sometime next spring-summer which will serve to spread the project over three calendar years!
