Rain, rain, go away, we’ve got things to do outside today!!!!  Hmmm, Mother Nature doesn’t seem to listen to me either…  Then again, sometimes I don’t even listen to myself too well, though I’m getting better at not talking out loud while working alone.  Chree and I spent some quality time in the morning at Goodro Lumber, ordering an exterior people door for the shed plus $$$ worth of framing lumber and sheathing.  As forecast, promptly at noon the rain stopped, and the sun came out to stay by 1 o’clock.  So we dragged the totally useless big blue tarp (maybe I wasn’t so dumb after all) off the top of the shed, then set about installing the east wall rim joist and then inserting lag bolts in the north wall rim joist so as to permanently sister it to the beam on that end of the shed.  For a married couple, things went very smoothly.  We were done easily by 4:30.  Took the first of what will be a series of photos of the shed upper level construction from the vantage point of the tree stand.  Perry came over at 6:30 to lay out lines for the shed upper level walls… and check out the quality of our beer supply.
