Close, but not quite

This mini excavator garage build project is proving to be bigger and taking longer than I originally thought. Today I’d hoped to finish it off by completing its roof and walls but in fact only managed to get the roof done. And even then I ran out of roofing felt nails so still have a few left to bang in along one edge.

But at least the plywood roof covering is now totally covered and the roof is waterproof and with some rain expected tomorrow that’s a good thing. It won’t matter too much if the wood of the framework gets a bit wet. I’ll buy some more nails tomorrow as I’ll also need those for the walls.

I’ve got some other things I need to do tomorrow so I don’t think I’ll do any more garage work even if it doesn’t rain. But just in case I’ve put a tarp over the excavator to keep it as dry as possible. It’s not that I’ve fallen in love with it but I’m not stupid and although it’ll be a working machine I want to preserve as much of its value as possible for when I do eventually come to sell it. That was the idea of building a garage for it in the first place.
