The
walls and "outriggers" are up. Each outrigger is a beam made from two
2" x 10" for strength.
I
used tongue and groove "Novelty" pine for the walls. Everything is
VERY sturdy.
It's
complete!!!
The
roof is 2" x 4", 1/4" plywood, felt, and architectural shingles.
The
roof, though heavy, rolls very easily. I can sleep at night knowing
the wind won't blow it off.
The windows and flower boxes hopefully satisfy the neighborhood "covenant police."
This
side of the roof portion flips up when rolling. Rain and snow don't
get in when it's down as it overhangs the wall.
There are four "V" groove wheels (www.grainger.com) on each side, riding on angle iron welded to flat plate.
The
chains are probably overkill, but nothing is rolling here.
The
winch in the corner pulls the roof on. A second winch is attached to
an outrigger to pull it off.
The
warm room measures 10' x 6' and is insulated. It's nice and toasty in
there with a space heater when it's 0 degrees F. outside. :)
Small,
but comfortable.
Ready for first-light.
