Wood Shed Finished

The last two days I have been working on the wood shed alone. I wanted to finish the work before the rain set in. I carried the metal sheets out to the shed and stood them up against the framing, then slid them up on the roof rafters. I used a 4' long piece of 2 by 4 to push the metal over to align the edge, then climbed the ladder with the drill/driver in one hand. I pushed the metal as close to the existing building as possible and finished lining up the first piece with the metal siding already installed. Then screwed 4 screws into the metal and the wood framework. With the metal firmly in place, I climbed on top of the sheet and screwed the rest of the screws in to attach the entire sheet. Then back down the ladder, bring out the next piece, align it, climb the ladder, get on top, screw it down, and so on until I had 5 of the 8 pieces in place. I had to quit at that point as my hand was starting to cramp from reaching as far as I could and putting pressure on the drill/driver to start the self tapping metal screws.
On Monday, I began by attaching one of the trim pieces to cover where the edge of the roofing meets the top of the wall. Then I began installing the last 3 sheets of metal roofing. The best part of the roofing job was no cutting was required, I had ordered the pieces the length I wanted them to be. I did have to cut the trim pieces, but those were easy as they were only about 4" wide on top and 2" on the side. After the 3rd sheet of roofing was installed, I finally installed the last trim piece, then laid down on the side of the hill and thought about how much work it had been and how glad I was it was done.
   
I started our 2 mowers and Brent's mower and parked those in one side of the shed, then used the Mule to pull the log splitter and backed it in the other side. As I walked up the gravel road towards the house, I looked back and thought that the shed matched the rest of the building fairly well, considering that I had built it!
