The idea here was to add taped metal on top of the wood to shield it from water, so it will ~never rot. A close-up of the corner details (4x4 post bracket) Getting started on the walls too! Worked late today (my contractor, not me… I was busy with a family member 😥)
After adding 2" of insulation inboard of the walls, the corners didn’t touch anymore. So I found some scrap cedar in the cord wood pile, and made it “work” ;) Also had my first interaction with the tractor… Just a couple loads of dirt, hydraulics are fun!
