Trim

After getting the T-111 sidewalls up and the rafters, it was time to think about the touching up of the shed.  While this is not as exciting as spending a day putting up rafters, or building walls, it is something that is essential to building the shed.  After discussing with his parents, they decided on a kermit frog green for the paint color.  As Zach and I went to Lowes to buy 3 gallons of paint, it was very interesting how they created the distinct color that we wanted.  They did this through mixing different oils and mixing the paint thoroughly to get what they call an asparagus green. After getting back, we measured the amount of trim needed for each side and cut the wood before painting it.  The measurements were a bit tedious, but it made more sense to measure and cut before actually doing the panting.  Unlike the past where we had 2 people painting, we had everyone paint and it went a lot faster and was a more efficient process.  Our company combined with Summer Hits of the 1990's on Pandora made it a lot more fun to paint.  Music has been essential to the project.  Spending endless amount of time outside working, music makes the working a lot more enjoyable for the project.  We alternate pandora stations and have speakers that work great for outside.
