Plywood, Steel & Glass

With the walls and roof framed, it was time for the sheething. I ended up using the plywood I had left over from a deck I took apart. The good part is it is all pressure treated. It doesn't look pretty now but it will all be sided. I covered all of the walls and roof leaving openings for the door ways. Once the roof was covered I added drip edge all around then sheethed it with corrugated steel roofing. These steel pieces were leftovers and were given to me. I have not gotten around to a ridge cap yet but I will end up ripping a piece of the steel and bending it to make the cap.



I decided it would be easier for me to frame out my windows then cutout the plywood. I decided what height I wanted the window then framed accordingly. The windows I am using are vinyl sample windows that I got for free. I have 2 in the front, 2 in the back. 1 on the right side and I am using a 24" X 48" crankout window as a picture window on the left side. Some of these photos were taken with the next steps already done. I will explain my railing design in my next post.
