It's a giant steel box. That's the bigger project. Two weeks ago TheSwitchElectrician came by and we built the platform that the shed stands on. The platform took us about 4 hours start to finish.
The next week, Dan came by, and he helped build the shed. Actually building the shed took about five hours. Shockingly long for a bunch of tin.

It's pretty roomy inside, and looks to be quite weathertight. I'm going to need to do something about covering the small gaps at the top, without impeding airflow. Perhaps stuffing them with steel wool?
Both hulls are really in the stage for sealing. With our truncated build day, Dan and I spent it doing epoxy work. Every screw hole needs to be filled, and due to the quality of wood we've got some oddball gaps at coerners and edges.
I work at a telecom company. One of the smocks Dan brought had a fun brand name on it.
The hulls look really good after being sealed. The lack of screws somehow makes me a lot more confident in the seaworthiness of the hull.
One last shot. I think these are just so pretty to look at.
Next time, we're doing keel trunks, and perhaps mast steps.
