Partly done (3/5)

List item

The next step was to put on the front wall panels and the side wall panels. Only one wall panel is up in this picture. None of these steps was especially difficult, but each of the wall panels is held on by about 15 screws and plastic washers, so it was time-consuming. The roof has even more screws in each panel and there are quite a few nuts and bolts, as well. I can’t begin to count how many of those screws I dropped and had to find before preceding, either. Hey, I’m not a builder.

This picture shows one of the corner cement blocks, which raises the floor about 9 inches off the ground. In case you wondered, the flashlight is there so we could see in the inside corners, which are in dense shade.

Speaking of shade, when I was ready to put the roof on, I also had to trim some of the maple branches.

It also occurs to me that I keep saying “we”. At various times, my daughter or my wife assisted me and that help was invaluable, especially when parts needed to be held up so they could be fastened. I wouldn’t have been able to attach the screws, nuts, and bolts without the help.
