Jim got tools and equipment up to the shed, and then got more scaffolding from the old shed. A stop at the pole barn for more platforms and cross braces...
Then he started setting up the scaffolding on the other side of the shed. This is the side with the steep incline where the dirt isn't real compacted, so Jim knew he was going to have to do some digging...
Starting to set up...
This is the very back side where it's the lowest, but we used one of our ancient scaffolding blocks to boost up that side and things worked out great...
Final tweaks and we are good to go - Jim put some screws through the feet into the blocks just to make sure things stayed stable...
You can see how much lower the scaffolding on the left side is compared to the right!
Once it was all set, Jim started putting up the connection flanges to get ready for the top layer of sheathing...
Meanwhile, Jim played paparazzi as I was sunbathing on the platform watching him!
First half done - continuing to attach the flanges...
All done - the inside view!
Next, Jim put in all the screws underneath the track into the top plate - this requires first drilling and then using screws, so it's a lot of work...
It was another cold and very blustery day, so we felt really good at the accomplishments outside. Once Jim got all the tools and equipment put away, he started working in the metal shop. He set up his metal saw...
Put up the tarp to protect the exercise equipment and cars...
Then he started cutting steel angle to make hurricane clips for the roof...
Once he got some cut, he put the pieces in his vise and was able to punch holes...
Some finished clips...
