Re: Surferal's PolyShed

Trusses added. and the Lexan for the roof pieces was cut and standing in the shed. I will have to cut the 2 end pieces so they aren't as wide. i would have liked to have them full width but the Shed would have needed too much work to fix. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4023/4372582853_ce54f94275.jpg...
