At this point, the little beast is coming together. I managed to find enough rough cut 2 x 4's and a few 2 X 10's to finish off the framing. The windows were found at a local dump, and so construction moves on. I got creative in the framing, using most of the 2 X 4's flat. This allowed for the framing to fit inside the corner posts and angle bracing. I'm happy how it's turning out. Without power, I'm hand cutting and using a battery operated saw to make the cuts. There is nothing better than the slowness of building this way. The new framing took the building from overbuilt and unmovable to positively granite like. Nothing moves at all, anywhere.
Free wood creates some design realities as well. I had to calculate how to utilize the resource. My solution was to eyeball the amount of wood and have at it. When I was done I had about ten feet of 2 X 4 left over. Trust the eyeball I guess.
This end in the top photo will have a high door to load things if needed onto the second floor from the outside. There will be a single sliding door at the business end of the building. Now I just need to build a few doors and find some siding.
As to the total cash outlay, hinges added an extra ten bucks, so I'm hovering around $310.
