After two years of having just exterior-grade plywood as siding for the power shed, we finally got around to putting on the siding and trim. Coop had a great idea to use smartboard siding, a treated OSB product that looks like wood siding.  I used cement fiber board offcuts for the back, and cedar for the front and trim. Still need to paint the door but that will be a project for next year.  Mizuho painted the siding and stained the trim.

Also got the barn door installed with the help of Coop. This should help keep dust down in the garage, and provide a warmer working environment in the shop.  Ended up getting a steel bar made up for the rail as it was longer than what I could get with the hardware.  $15 for the bar and some labour drilling and painting.

Next up is working on upstairs railing/bookcase, using the new shelves in the storage room to organize stuff, and getting the starter on the Bobcat rebuilt.  Weather is good these days for outside work – about 15 and mostly sunny.
