It is unwise to take a job that has no plan and is only some rough arm swinging in the air and casual conversation. It is even more unwise to accept a job where YOU didn't figure the material. What you wind up with is a lot of head scratching, moaning and groaning, and LONG days. If YOU had figured the material, you would know not to cut it right to the minimum and allow a wee bit of fudge factor, just in case you make a bad cut. Yes, we ALL make those on occasion, and it is ALWAYS at a bad time. If YOU had ordered the material, you would not only have the sheathing for the roof, but joists as well. With a plan, YOU would have argued that the rough framing should be nailed, and not assembled with monster screws. If YOU had set up the job in the first place, chances are good it would go smoothly. However, since YOU did NOT set up the job and are merely lending a hand, YOU will be pulling out whatever hair you have remaining (if you are follically challenged like myself). Some jobs are just destined to put you over the top. One frustration after another, the rain one day, the cold the next. The job was accepted so, there's no good way to disengage yourself from it so, YOU will make the best of it. You will file this wisdom away and HOPEFULLY, never take another poorly planned job like this one, until next time.
Furniture or sheds, it doesn't matter, YOU have to allow for enough material and supplies to cover the job AND enough TIME, so you don't shoot yourself in the foot and come out working for free. Be careful what you bid on, you MIGHT get it! Have a great day!
