We have about 20 redwood trees around the perimeter of our lot. The good thing is we get full sun in the summer. The bad thing is the trees block most of the sun in the winter because it is low in the sky. The tree to the left of the shed is about 55' in diameter and I don't know how tall. When I get out there today I'll get some pictures of it if you like.

We are on 2 acres in Felton, CA which is about 7 miles north of Monterrey Bay. I can walk to Henry Cowell Redwood Park from our house. It is a beautiful place and we are grateful to live here. The house was neglected for many years and I work hard every weekend on it. Once this shed is done I can get my garage cleared out and start making cabinets for the kitchen remodel.

That's crazy. There's redwood dimensional lumber all around here, but it is expensive. I grew up in Illinois and never saw redwood until I moved here. It is the preferred material for decks.

I said I would take pictures but I didn't. Sorry. I was busy today.

I got the jack rafters done on the short span side, finished all the gable plywood, cut the tails and put the fascia on the front, put in the suports for the flying rafter in the yard side and got that rafter up and the fascia on the yard side done.

Tomorrow I hope to complete the gables and fascia then I can sheet the roof and start putting shingles on it.

I got the roof sheeted today. I bought the T1-11 plywood to finish the front but my priority is to get the roof on it. We have a dry spell but it will rain again soon. I can work on the siding in the rain.





Tomorrow I'll start roofing. I hope it goes fast. I have to go back to work Monday and I want to get it done before the end of the weekend.

I am really happy with how this project is turning out. A friend was trying to talk me into putting a flat roof on the shed. The gable roof looks so much better.

I think it looks great. I have one question, why didn't you just go with a little less slope for the section that sticks out further in the back?

A couple of reasons:

1. I always wanted to join two gable roofs of unequal span at 90°. This gave me an opportunity to practice framing.

2. The way I did it looks better. Had I put a flat roof on the back it would have looked like a giant ramp. I thought it would have looked funny. The two gable approach looks right.

3. This gave me more storage space in the rafters.

Today I bought shingles and underlayment. I went with "synthetic" underlayment by GAF. It was a lot easier than working with 30## felt. I hope it works as well as it is to work with.

I put drip edge on all the exposed plywood and put the underlayment down. I got the front shingled and about 1/2 of the back. I will finish the roof tomorrow. I gotta see if they stock ridge shingles for the style I chose. I'm getting sick of cutting shingles and don't want to do any more.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
