On with the shed. The felting of the roof has to be one of the most boring parts of it. Bar the trimming, it's done now though. Boring because you basically have to hammer in 1 zillion clout nails to keep the felt on, and you need to make sure you get even overlaps, at least on the roof itself. And the most exciting tool you can use is a claw hammer. Yawn.
I'd just left that little bit on the right, and the extra strip to double up the coverage on the ridge of the roof. So I polished it off:
So, as above, done bar the trimming. Will also make some barge boards and put some guttering on too at some point, but I have to admit to being sick to death of the roof. And the other shed you can see in the pics needs a re-felt too, so more boring nailing for me.
Having done the roof, I thought I'd have a go at completing the wall structure. In the top pic above, you can see some loft insulation - but the shed doesn't have a loft. I got this because it's cheaper than proper wall batts, but I did want to insulate the walls too. Wooden sheds have a habit of being too hot in summer and bloody freezing in winter, and sudden temperature changes leads to condensation, and rusty tools. So I made a sort of batten with some OSB and celotex to hold the loft insulation up and this is what I came up with:
I had some bubble foil insulation left over from another project in the old house, so I added that too to see if it's worth carrying on with it. :
Don't know if it is, so I'll carry on without, I reckon. Given I'll be covering the outside in builder's paper, I'll already have a vapour barrier, so although it would add extra insulation, 'm not sure I need to go to those lengths. I guess I'll be doing more of this, and windows next...
