9/2/2025 Laboring on Labor day

Disclaimer, I have no idea why some pictures loaded sideways. 🤨
I spent Labor Day weekend laboring on the shop...or maybe it's a laboratory?  What will become a wall seperating garden equipment from the shop proper had to be sheathed to stabilze it.  Once the Oriented Strand Board (OSB) was painted on the weathering side--OSB does not like getting wet and tends to disintigrate with exposure to water--I got busy hanging it.
The second row required some additional thought to holding it up there--solo construction is not for the feinght of heart.

With the wall thus stablized I moved on to building the knee wall on top that will hold the rafters at their needed slope and thus the roof.
The goal is to have this section roofed before it snows.
In the end I was even able to park the tractor inside for the first time--it looks smaller in there.
