Windows replacement at a cottage part 2
Making some shiplap siding I found some spare lumber in the workshop so here I am planing it down to use for interior window trim. I could not find any shiplap 1×8 boards so I bought some pine, cut out the grooves on the table saw and installed them. A fit finish.

Tricky shed demolition – final day
Sectioning a wall I did start with the chainsaw and ended up using the recip saw. I ran into so many nails with the chainsaw, the chian was completely shot, it wouldn’t cut through the thin boards any more.

Tricky shed demolition part 3
Lots of 3 inch lag screws! On all the joins and around the perimeter of the roof, the builder had used 4 inch long galvanized screws with a 3/8 inch hex head. Along with stainless steel washers and I found remains of some sort of foam washer to prevent leaking… didn’t work. I had to use the impact gun with a socket to get them off.

Tricky shed demolition part 2
Rotting interior. On our second day, my wife and I spent the morning stripping out the first shed and emptying the second shed. In the picture below, you will see the back wall…rotten…and it slopes to the left. That actually drops about 2 feet. The bottom sill plate of the wall is completely gone so the only thing holding up the wall is the fact its attached to the roof.
