You’re off to a good start.

Looking good. I need to make myself an engine house someday.

Nice work!

going to make up a jig for the rafters tomorrow and try to make up some corrugated steel

Scooby,
I like the way you are framing it.
One of these days I need to rig up my table saw so I can rip some scale lumber.
Like Shawn, I need to build an engine house too.

I try to stay as close as a Prototypes would be built.I really have to say how much I love the scale calculator they have here

Jeeze Scooby, can you make that picture in your signature any larger? ha ha ha!

Looking good Scooby. How are you keeping the rafters lined up. With just those old hunks of wood for a jig? I’m impressed with your woodworking skill. A fully framed wood building is quite an undertaking.

thx .Ya I’m using 2 old (real)2x4 to hold up the rafters

roof is on
