A2 Hosting still has not fixed the Database after their servers failed AGAIN. A2 Hosting is the WORST!
Because of this, new posts are currently missing and I can only HOPE they eventually recover the table they didn't restore after their latest failure.

Making progress, but struggling.



The physical work is do-able... with some creativity.  Like bending backwards as if I was trying to do limbo while carrying a sheet of siding to get the upper edge under the roof edge while half crab-walking backwards so that I don't tear up the tar strip painted on the bottom edge of the siding.  Then setting it down on some soft fabric and reversing the whole situation to get it scooted up onto a board to get it all level.

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.
Dizzy

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.

It looks wonderful. Maybe you have to add something here or there or remove something but the fact is you are getting it done and it is going to be great.
If all was perfect then you would have been doing all this kind of work for many years.
This is your first and biggest project you have ever done of this type.
Give yourself tons of credit.

Just think of all you have accomplished so far.
Don't be so hard on yourself, and give yourself
A break now and then, and things will work out,
We love you
