On Saturday we went to a Texas A&M Football game (Gig 'Em Aggies, A-Whoop!) so we didn't have much time left to work on the shed. But that didn't stop us!
Last week we bought 10 2x4s for framing the windows (excluding the 10 pressure treated ones for the window casings) so we were up early on Sunday and ready to work. By mid morning we had removed two walls of siding and framed 1 window. The window was where the old entry point was, so it was just a matter or extending the opening and reframing the wall.
Our next task was to hang the two side windows, but quickly found rotten support beams, spliced studs, and even main support that wasn't nailed in! It was horrible. We quickly ran out of our supply of 2x4s and went to town for a Home Depot run. We bought 20 more 2x4s and I got a tool belt!
After many hours of rebuilding the wall we were able to install the other two windows.
We worked late into the evening, but I must say, I'm thrilled with the progress and cannot wait until we get to the other wall and doors next weekend.
How cute are our tool belts!?
Stinkin' cute toolbelts (get it, stinkin b/c you worked allll day!) ;) Sheesh, you killed yourselves - I hope you can rest soon. :)
