Friday

Thursday and Friday were quite difficult days. After building all the rafters on Wednesday, we put all the rafters up on top of the shed. This may seem pretty easy, but being on a ladder for three or four hours without much of a break is very, very terrifying and quite difficult. The four of us had to lift all the rafters, place them all 16 inches apart, make sure they were all level, cut a couple more pieces to fix any small mistakes we made, and then screw in the rafters, which are more than 8 feet of the ground. While tensions flared quite a bit (especially on Friday during the Lowe's trip), we eventually completed all our tasks. We also put screens in the window, began painting a couple things, and really just set ourselves up for the final week. Also, at Lowe's, we bought all the trim that we are going to paint green and then place around the windows, doors, on top of the shed (below the roof), as it just adds some contrast to the mostly dark shed. The picture below is a picture of all the rafters on the roof.
