Today I made more progress on the new shed - the fake overhangs are done on the sides and I have moved to the brackets on the front and back - With one of the original brackets from the house as my model, I made a scaled down version. I was surprised to learn that the original brackets are made of three different thickness of wood, so of course, I had to duplicate that element on a smaller scale.
I was able to get the ends installed when I ran out of daylight - I am going to put a third one at the peak, which will be different from the main house - the house has four brackets on each side, two on the ends and two on either side of the center vent - the shed is too small to do that, but I think it should look OK. I am going to build some lattice roof peak vents to finish off the front.
From the side installed - the vertical piece is a 1X4, the angled bracket is a 2X4, and the top is a custom milled 3X4...
Steve got in on the action, and installed the doorknob and lock, so we can secure it without leaning sheets of plywood and cinder blocks...We have a real lock now...
