Slow but steady progress... If you look close. you can see the plastic is in place for the large skylight in the back wall We are painting siding again and should have the back wall finished this weekend. Time to start looking at the north wall.

Plan B cleared the siding, but only by about 1/16". On to plan C.... Ended up extending the build-out by 6" and adding another 1x6 over the top. Everything glued and screwed. Finally, the door hangs properly. Here are some pix... Now I can start rebuilding the track for the big door. I...

Yea, we're pretty wet this year. Most summers, by August, I can dig down 4-5 feet before finding water. Sometimes deeper. Last summer we never really stopped raining. I was lucky to get to 18" without having standing water in the ditch/hole and then fall and winter came again. My son...
