Finished putting the cedar siding on the west wall, then installed the top 1x4 trim for that wall.  Next installed the north wall 1x4 trim… without seriously endangering life or limb, though the lower limbs are sure to be sore after countless trips up and down my tallest ladder.  Except for hanging the two doors for the north doorway, the exterior of the shed is complete!  The only interior items left to do are to needle gun the rock roof to give it a proper rough look (for which job I still need to find / borrow / steal / otherwise procure a pneumatic needle gun) and to install hooks in the lower level east wall on which to hang ladders and scaffolding.  Final accounting: 3½ rolls of Home Slicker, just a tad over four squares of #2 white cedar shingles, about 5,100 1¼″ stainless steel staples, and two gallons of Cabot Silver Gray Weathering Stain used in siding the shed.  The taste of the obligatory celebratory Johnnie Walker Black Label: priceless!
