looks very nice Bob..i like the gable, i like the valleys...flat roofs are (in my opinion) one of the stupidest things one can do to a structure...never re-roofed a single one that didnt have some sort of rot....also, im a big fan of large eaves...the bigger the overhang, the farther the water is from the foundation and building....good job!!

Thanks! The gables gave it a lot of character. I used 18" eves for the reasons you stated. We don't get any rain at all from say the end of April or May at the latest to the end of November. From the end of November until May it usually pours rain especially up here in the mountains where we live. I want to keep it from splashing on the siding as much as I can.

I would like to put windows in the building but not right now. It will be easy to frame them in later.

It looks good. Always nice to practice new skills.

I got as far as I am going to until next weekend. I have to go back to work. I left on 12/22 and started the shed on 12/23.

This is what I have left:

1x4 trim at corners and gable ends
paint
gutters
roll-up door

I have a slab I need to pour next to the garage which is the building across from the shed. I'm going to build a lean-to shed there that will house my air compressor and tank. I put conduit in the ground between that slab and the shed in these pictures. I plan on puling power and running compressed air to the shed through these pipes. That's not a necessity at this point.

This is where I left it yesterday:

I tried to get some pictures of the redwoods:

It's hard to get a sense of how tall the trees are because the sun washed out the picture. Not only that these trees have vines on them that hide the trunks. I spent some time yesterday cutting the vines close to the ground. They are embedded in the bark and I don't want them to damage the trees.

Today I finished the siding and cleaned up a little:

I put my box scraper and log splitter in the shed this afternoon. I have some space back in the garage. I'll put the rest of my yard equipment in it once I get the door on it.
