The Taming of the Screw

Here's a shot of one of the side walls - only one more wall to go! As per usual, this project is taking way more time than I thought - would be good to do it with 3-4 other people and bang it out in a couple of weekends, but there is satisfaction in doing it all myself and learning about framing along the way.

TIP: buy an extra drill so you can dedicate one to drilling pilot holes and the other for use as a power screwdriver - buy a "wye" connection for your extension cord you you can just pick up and go. I found my second drill at Habitat ReStore (http://hfhsloco.org/restore/products) for $5!

Here's a great video I found of the same shed being built - very helpful guide...
