The finished job (5/5)

At that point, the shed was done. The only part that was left to do was to fill in gaps at the top and bottom that would have allowed moisture and wasps to get inside. The gaps are from the corrugation of the roof and walls and none of the gaps is very large, but wasps don’t need much room. I can’t even get inside our old and much smaller wood shed out back because of a large wasp nest that I can’t get to.

So I went down and got a can of spray expanding insulation and filled all of those gaps. The foam should be cured by tomorrow morning, then my daughter can start stacking her stuff into the shed. If we figured correctly, this should again give us some indoor space, while also getting the boxes out of the front yard.

This was more of a project than I thought it would be, primarily because of the number of parts, screws, nuts, and bolts. There are about 450 screws and 250 nuts and bolts holding this together. Still, it is metal, so it should weather well. It took over a week to put up, mostly due to the heat, but I’m proud to say that it is done at last.
