Ok, I wish I had pics of the RV, but I still have to get this pesky shed done first... I got the roof half done so far.





I've been pretty busy at work, but we slowed down a little this week. All this and our yearly Labor Day boat trip is looming closer and closer. Between fixing the boat, truck and camper I've got my work cut out for me.

Do you plan on enclosing the sides of the shed, or just leaving them open?

I'll leave them open for now. I just want the roof done so I can move the Dodge in there and figure out where I left off.

i see you found a use for the old camaro....
glad to see that your working and don't really have time for the projects.
i'm betting it'll be a year or two before you get it done.
the next project i'm planning, i figure it will take five years from start to finish.

Looks like the shed is coming along....should be done just in time for the winter, when you'll need it to keep up with the work on the RV.
I'd hold off on the sides, and maybe just get some tarps to put up to keep the wind out....as well as the snow that you guys get.

Keep those pictures coming!

Also think you might want to put a couple of pieces of carpet under the ladder to protect the Camero

I loved reading this thread! Make sure you take a pic once you move it under there! At least that'll keep me happy for a little bit!

Good to see you are working. I work about 60-80 hours a week myself, so I can relate. Earning money to support my family is priority number one. The shed looks good. Keep up the good work.

Shaazamm! You know I had a Lance camper and I wound up doing exactly what you are doing but not such a big area. I wound up taking the enite side and rear corner and only the corner of the other rear side completly off. I had replaced all the frame and paneling. I fill
the frame I replaced was alot stronger the way I did it, plus the wood I used was stronger, Cant remember what I used but it sure wasnt the cheap 1 1/2" pine they use. It was a little time consuming
but I enjoyed doing it and saved myself a few thousand $$. Damage was caused by water leaks by the jacks that eventually wore the frame
from normal wear and tear. Have fun and good luck and as mentioned send progess updated pics as you go along.

Progress hit a brick wall the last few weeks as I had to get ready for our annual Labor Day trip. We leave in the morning. Once this is behind us, the top priority is getting that shed done and the RV moved in!!
