    Default New sugarshack

    My son and I built this shack this summer. It is 10ftx20ft with a 6/12 pitch roof. It was lots of work but fun too build. My new paslode nailer made quick work of the siding and tongue/groove ceiling.
    Hopefully the attachment works

    Great looking Sugarshack! All those windows will bring in plenty of natural light for you. What are your plans for a head tank?
