Still no baking... much to busy on everything else for now, although it's really starting to bug me that I'm not making wonderful smells in the kitchen!
All the T-111 siding and trim is now on...
Got the first 4 courses of lap siding installed on the front... And my wife is already taking trips to the storage unit to start filling up the shed ...and I'm still 2 or 3 weeks away from being done!
The shop progress is coming along too. Insulation has been added to the perimeter of the stem wall, gravel filled and leveled inside the foundation, 4" of foam insulation added, and wire mesh laid in place ...ready for pouring of the slab.

Looking real good...one question did you flash the T-111 between the lower wall and the gable? I see a trim board but no flashing. If water hits your gable end it will run behind that trim board and start rotting things out quickly. You can caulk the top of that board but in time the caulk will fail...flashing will last the life of the building

Yes I did. The trim just hides it. :)

How will you ever be able to claim you couldn't find something in the shed when there are so many windows letting in light? ;-)
Seriously, it looks wonderful.

Thanks, Paul, for your kind words... I wish I were posting pix of bread though! Soon ...very soon. At least I've been keeping my starter fed and healthy.
My Dad joked about the shed and said "The only thing missing is a toilet and kitchen". Those in Alaska know that he's right though. Not so much in the Anchorage area, but out of town in the villages or even around Fairbanks, I could easily rent out this 'garden shed' as a "dry cabin" for around $500/month if I added an outhouse behind it and a Toyo oil heater or small wood stove. LOTS of people live in exactly that way up here ...once you actually get to Alaska that is. When in Anchorage, you only have 1-1/2 hours to go...
