Hey, this isn't where I had written about cutting the nails that had gone through the 2×4 I removed!
Stay on topic, people!
The dremel wasn't up to cutting nails and I was late getting back from Harbor Freight, but I took the time to buy a long $3 pry bar, and my brother wanted a small pickaxe.
That is cool, right? Buying him a pickaxe?
I saw my client, forgot that I was supposed to make up yesterday's client (they forgot, too), and I finally set up my DS Logon (Department of Defense Self-Service Logon).
Who writes Logon, one word?
I downloaded all kinds of documents, like my discharge paperwork from Active Duty, but for some reason there wasn't one for the Guard.
I have only accessed the VA the way I had a couple of times, but it beat playing phone tag.
For some reason that will be disabled in less than a week, but I will be able to use my SD Logon.
I uploaded my DD214 and when Home Depot approved it, I ordered new panels for the greenhouse, which needs a number of repairs.
Uh, how old is it?
I found my head lamp and face shield and nipped most of the nails, which was challenging because there were usually two close together.
I will go back with pliers tomorrow and bend the one in the front.
There was a nail going through the front, which was covered by the trim, but maybe I will remove the trim, plane it, prime, and paint.
Maybe I should just bend one nail out of the way, nip it, and then nip the other.
I haven't even mentioned painting the shed!
I think that I will use a jack to force the new board on the nail stubs. Everyone says that the only way to make them flush is to grind them, but that MDF is already pretty damaged.
I need to find the wire brush, clean the next couple feet of the back, screw in temporary boards, jack up the rear, remove the rotten boards, tap up the nails, clamp the new boards in place, screw them from the inside, remove the temporary boards, lower the back, uncover the drywall, and if it is good, install the first two boards.
Hopefully at least two boards are good!
It has a simple roof, but the rafters have two angles, so I need to cut thin strips to go between the full boards on the sides and the ceiling, and then three sets of ceiling boards.
I think that I will put the rest of the good drywall in the shed and give Mom her compost heap back.
