Framing The Walls Of My Off Grid Battery Storage Shed

Finally, after some struggles with old nail filled wood and faulty equipment, I am putting together the walls of my off grid battery and water shed.

I finished cutting the boards for the first wall and laid it out on the uneven ground.

I got the little 800 watt Harbor Freight generator running and then connected the air compressor to get it pressurized. My framing nailer was ready to go.

Because of the ground being so uneven I had to prop up each set of boards I was nailing in order to keep them level with one another before nailing them together.

The framing nailer made the job go so nicely. This seriously speeds up my progress framing the wall. I was done in minutes.

The hard part was lifting this heavy wall myself. This is old pine barn wood. It is heavy. But I managed to get it into place. I propped up the bottom of the wall and leveled it off. Then I fastened it to the tiny house on wheels with a few screws for now. I will remove them when I get the shed built.

For the second wall I decided to use the pine 2x4s from the old lumber yard job I did. This was old wood that had been sitting out in the woods for 10 years but it was still usable and good inside.

I was making my own paneling inside the tiny house with this wood.

I decided that using barn wood and pulling nails by hand is taking too long so I am using the paneling boards.

The next wall went up quite fast in comparison and I leveled it off and fastened it to the other wall.

Now though, after reading comments, I stopped to re-evaluate my plans with the third wall. I will get back to it the next day.
