DIY   home improvement  

Do-able.  Exactly.

 

But I am struggling mightily with the mind.  It seems that every step I take finds out that six steps ago, I should have done something differently.  Some of it isn't my fault... like finding out after I cut the siding carefully for the trim in-set for the end and the corner... that the windows stick out much more than expected, and it would have been much better to put the trim on top of the siding.

Some of it however, is my fault.  Like getting the siding perfectly cut, tar edged, hung, and nailed completely in place and then figuring out I cut the siding too short on one side by half-an-inch...... because I don't have the OSB hung on the other end wall, because it isn't really a wall yet, because I have yet to figure out how to frame out and if the sliding door idea will even really work.

Partly getting way ahead of myself for good reasons (like getting siding on to handle the increasingly foul weather), and partly just plain fails in thinking things through.  The problem is... I thought I had it thunked... thinked.... whatever. 

So while I know it isn't completely true, it feels like I am spending more time trying to figure out what I am doing wrong or fixing things I just found out I did wrong, than actually making progress on building the shed.

As hubby suggested, I am trying very hard to take a deep breath and figure out what I need to do first, before anything else goes awry.  Best guess is to get back to that wall that isn't a wall yet.  Figure out how to mount the sliding glass panels, frame it out, and get it caught up to the rest of the walls.

I still have to make some adjustments and grind some metal, but I am at least 90% sure now that I can get the two non-moving glass door sections to move along the normal and the screen track.
