Urbana Oyster festival has come and gone. We had a nice time, enjoyed the company of a bunch of nice people, and hurried home to get up some leaves. Here are are a few photo's.
Monday was a fun day. I spent most of the day doing engine service on the motor home reasoning that it'll be cold soon and since things like an oil change require that I crawl on the ground under the engine, I'd better get it done soon. Thanks to latex gloves, I managed to get the job done without getting my hands dirty.
The shed looks pretty much like it did last report but it is much stronger. I spent a few hours on Tuesday completing the nailing of the sheeting on the sides. The more nails I added, the sturdier it seemed. It's now rock solid and ready for a roof.
It's been raining cats and dogs here in Virginia for the past couple of days. Nearly five inches they say. I'm supposed to do a car show this weekend so I suppose it'll be next week before I get around to making any more shed progress.. Gotta keep the priorities in order.

Leaf Season is Here
Time has a way of healing the pain of times past but there's never enough time to eliminate the pain of the fall leaf season in central Virginia. They're coming down like crazy. I can only imagine how much time I'll spend on leaf removal in the coming weeks. Fortunately, this isn't the only focus. There has been some shed progress and tomorrow we leave for Urbanna, VA for the Urbanna Oyster Festival with some of our motor homing friends.
First, the garden shed progress is slow but so far, it's been moving along. This week, the truss' for the roof was completed,
the last of the walls was framed, the walls were erected. This is Carolyn demoing one of the roof truss so that I could visualize the roof profile.
Today, the sheathing was tacked in place on the walls. Things are beginning to come together.
With a little luck and good weather, the roof will be in place next week.
For now, it's time to quit work , pack up and leave for a few days of fun, oysters and friends. More later.
