Well Building 2

I have been slowly going ahead with getting the well shed built.  I spent one Sunday a few weekends ago framing the walls.  As with most projects I start, this one is using mostly reclaimed material or new material off of the sawmill.  In the case of the walls, my father and I picked up several used 2x4's that the local village hall was disposing.  These had been used for shelves and the village had remodeled and was getting rid of them.  I took this stack and cut them to 5 foot lengths.

One part that is new is I purchased green treat 2x4's to line the base of the walls against the cement.  These were drilled to fit over the bolts that had been put in the cement and secured with a nut and washer holding this base in place.  Onto these boards the walls were then set and secured once they were framed.

Next I built some small trusses for the roof.  I cut matching pieces for each part, creating four of them in total.

After the trusses were built, I secured these to the walls and then cut 2x4's to place in the dead space between each truss.

Over the next few weeks I plan to finish the roof with boards and tin and use some plywood siding for the walls.  I have some used white tin set aside that I scrounged for the roof which should work very nice.
