Storage project update

Cars of beauty:

 1956 Ford Ranch Wagon towing a Tear Drop camper. The little Tear Drop is making a come back in the RV world.

 

For Wednesday:

I will try a quick picture up date on my under the deck storage area. It is now dried in. We had one rain during the project so far with a couple simple leaks.

 This is the Deck I am working under Above is the back view, below is a side view from the front. That junk in the way is a work bench I had under the deck.

  First I dug out 15 wheelbarrow loads of dirt to level the area. Then rolled out black paper, then black plastic, to reduce moisture (rot) problems. Then used 2x4 treated floor joists to keep the height down, 

Then lid the flooring of treated plywood.

 I also knew this was going to be close to attach the metal roofing, and it was VERY close. I used 2x6 lumber for joists.

 It is actually hard to tell, but above is showing our back deck, the older wood, then just a few inches below is my new roof. Yes that was danged close to get a screw gun in to attach the roofing.

 The clearance at the back is 4" the front is right at 6" I have only a 2" fall to bring the water off.  From this angel you can see the grey ceiling joist and the deck above. I had to reach a screw gun in two feet to set the metal roofing, TIGHT!

 This is the finished look at the rear. I have a 3' door here. It is hard to believe but that is an excess door from the last house I built over 25 years ago.

This shows the side door, it is 4 feet wide to let me take the riding mower in.

One final thing, I added an awning at the door I cut into the basement on the other basement project.

 On purpose I did not show the inside. Right now it is crammed with mowers & stuff, I will get a pic once it is sorted . LOL

Thanks for reading and following the Shipslog. This is how I am spending my lock down time.  ;-)
