Adding interior support and exterior sheathing. Another brother did some other jobs I wasn’t able to get done with all the busyness, and he helped build the trusses. Taking a break for some laughter and planning. I thought I would be completely stressed out trying to direct everyone, but it went rather smoothly. Both layers on. Designing the trusses. Leftover metal roof from my house used. Like this: Like Loading...

Clever (Non-DIY) Idea - The Fold Down Picnic Table This is such an amazing idea. When I saw this fold down picnic table first, I wondered if you could make one like this yourself. Some clever handyman might be able to get it done using a folding table and attach it to a wall (perhaps with hinges).
