As far as I can tell, yiu cannot transport liquor across state lines since you didn't pay the tax where you are taking the booze to.

I had asked an uncle who owns a brewery about that. Apparently you can bring as much liquor as you'd like, but you can't transport liquor across state lines commercially without a licence. Also, one could sell the alcohol in the state in which it was made and then have the customer arrange separate transport and that too is legal.

err, why are your studs so close together

 

[Red Squirrel]

16" OC, but they are closer in some cases, it was preplanned to make sure that the plywood sheets always end on a 2x4. Actually, missed the top of the door, just realized that now.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Structurally closer is stronger, right?

 

[Red Squirrel]

I was actually getting worried before the plywood went up as it felt so flimsy, but it's incredible how much strength it adds. The few cross braces I had were not enough I guess. The real test will be when I go on the roof again, as it was shaking pretty bad when I was up there. Good thing I'm not a big heavy guy.

I also had some screws that broke on me while removing them, mostly ones that were part of temporary bracing that got wet. Kinda got me worried as some of the walls sat in the rain for days before they went up so wonder if those screws got weakened. They are not galvanized so not meant to be in moisture. At some point I might toe nail the studs with framing nails for good measure. I still have some other structural stuff to do like hurricane ties and lag bolts into the floor. Though even if I don't do anything the plywood kinda does hold everything together anyway.

Also I bought JUST enough plywood as I actually used the last sheet. I have lot of scrap that is rather large and can be used for other projects though. Come to think of it I actually misscalculated the plywood as I originally wanted enough to double the floor thickness, but decided to leave that out and only do it once the shed is fully built. Glad I did.

I'm just so happy with the result so far, like to consider I went from digging a couple holes in dirt to a semi weather proof building with a door! Took way longer than it should have because of the weather though. But seeing how much work and time was put into this, it made me realize if ever I want to build a house or cottage or any larger structure, I will hire out the main structure/shell. Then I can do everything inside without having to worry about weather.

I probably should not have had that late night coffee. I should really go to bed but I'm not even tired.

Starting night shift tomorrow though, so I don't have to feel bad if I oversleep tomorrow.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I should go check on my fan see if it's even doing anything. When I went earlier it did screw all. In indoor temp a fan will dry water quickly, but in the cold I don't think it does much, need heat but no point in using heat as it's not insulated nor sealed yet. Suppose to be hot enough to rain tomorrow so will probably just let it go overnight.

Using my actifrier for the first time. Not sure if I put too many fries in it, but it jammed a few times and I had to go unjam it. Now to go try out the fries, they're ready.

Just frozen fries though, I want to do fries from raw potatoes too, I bought a cutter tool for it.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Fries turned out good but maybe a tad hard. I probably put it too long, and they are frozen fries so probably not the best test. I will try fries from potatoes next time.
