Building a "Lean-To" Shed

As you may have surmized by now, I plan to learn how to build a small house from scratch. Part of my plan includes a series of smaller, light-weight projects where I can "get up to speed". Today was one more step along that path.

This afternoon, I met with Andy Compton, our very capable Maintenance Man here at our Condo Association in Wilmington, NC. I asked him if he would act as my consultant as I begin a series of ever increasingly complex construction projects. He said he would and we immediately began to modify some plans I had purchased over the Internet for a "Lean-To" Shed. Within a few minutes we had modified the plans to suit our particular situation (and to please my wife with special design doors) and Andy made a list of the required materials. I hope to purchase them this week and get started very soon thereafter.

With Andy's help, this project appears very "do-able" and a great preparation for the next and BIGGER project. I will keep the blog posted.
