Dear Diary, it rained today...

 Day 1

Started the foundation for the 10 x 12 shed.  It was raining.  Sometimes a drizzly, misty rain.  Other times it was like standing under a sprinkler.  Not the kind that goes ta-chuck, ta-chuck, ta-chuck...more like the kind that makes a big arcing rainbow.  I guess saying it was like one of those super large shower heads would have been a better analogy.  I think they look look like sunflowers...  Anyway, these two pictures were taken fairly early, by ten I was too wet to bother with snapshots.

Got the foundation leveled and nailed together.  Added the plywood decking, and had two walls up before I let the rain chase me away.  I guess that means the rain beat me...but I put up a good fight.  Rain - 1 , Me - 0

Day 2

My hammer is rusty.

That just stinks.  It's not that I mind having a rusty hammer, it's just that I already have one.  I didn't think to bring the rusty one for monsoon season this week month.  Ah well, good excuse to buy a new shiny hammer (for shop use only this time).

Much better day today.  Kept hearing that it was about to rain on the radio all day, and so I was cruising along pretty well.  The rest of the walls went up, as well as the rafters and a bit of siding.  Before I left there was half a roof.

I wish I could post the sensation of working in muddy, sloppy, squishy grass.  Did I mention slippery?  It was slippery too.

Rain - 1 Me - 1

Day 3

Coming along nicely now.  The roof has come in really handy today.  I wish I could have put that on first.  So the siding is complete, the roof deck is on, all of the soffit and fascia, and most of the drip edge.  Tomorrow, shingles.

I considered switching from shed to ark, but I don't think I could get a giraffe through that doorway.  Well, I could, but repetitive stress disorder from bending their necks all the time would have been a surefire lawsuit.

Rain -1 Me -3 (extra point for avoiding litigation)
