Shed Repair

Spent most of the past weekend repairing the hay shed on the south side of the barn. The cows got in there several weeks ago and did some damage to a support post and two of the main support sills which were already in bad condition. The shed roof was sagging.
Had to dig out the rotted end of the support post and set a new 4 inch by 8 foot post. Nailed cross supports across the rafters. Jacked up the rafters in two places and placed temporary support posts to hold up the roof. Used a wrecking bar and hammer to tear out all the old sills. Cut the new 2x6x12 support sills and 2x4x10 rafter supports to exact length. Nailed the 2x4's to the 2x6's. Hoisted them to the top of the support posts (7 ft.), positioned and nailed in place. Pushed two 1x4x12's under the corrugated iron roof on top of the sills and nailed the roof. Removed the two temporary support posts.
Doesn't sound like much but when I have to do everything myself without a helper it is not only difficult, but takes four times longer to do something. I have to spend a lot of time rigging up something temporary to hold pieces while I nail. Lifting 2x6x12's onto seven foot tall posts is not an easy task either. I still have a little nailing left to do, but all in all I did a pretty good job of it even though it rained lightly most of the weekend and I was soaking wet from perspiration as well as the rain. Had a total of 1.4 inches in the rain gauge for the weekend.
