One place the T1-11 fails is over openings and z-flashing. Whether you are using T1-11 in the gables or switch to horizontal siding, I suggest you pad out the framing the thickness of the T1-11 and let the gable siding lap over the top of the wall siding. If you do just tack on top of the other siding, using z-flashing, I suggest leaving a good 3/4" up off the flashing and getting that bottom edge seriously coated. I'd go ahead and pre-prime and paint that and catch the backside up a good 3-4" at least. That's even a good idea if you lap it over. Those edges are like a wick for moisture

Thanks for the tips!
I’m no carpenter, I swing a hammer most days at my regular job but, climbing up and down my ladders the last few days is kicking my butt.
When the weather turns nice I may take the scooter out on solo vacation.
I’ve got a buddy that is a dealership tech that is going to throw an eyeball on it this spring. Last fall he replace the forks seals. I think I want to get some riding in this year.
I got most of the shed kilzed and built some steps. (I still don’t understand that Pythagorean theorem.

My fingers get cold quick also. I figured it was the old age. If you young whippersnappers have trouble too I don't feel so bad.... 
I like a lot of overhang on my building roofs so I go a little overboard on it once in a while. My big building doesn't have hardly any overhang and it really bothers me. One thing about it, it doesn't catch the wind as bad that way. Keep up the good work.

I have been ponder the overhang situation. I may build them about a foot deep.
It’s been windy here lately and I don’t want my shed to take off flying and land on a witch out in the cornfield.
On another not I’ve been wondering if I should slap some collar ties on the rafters. I don’t know if it’s good insurance or even necessary.
I put the tarps on we have wind, rain and snow in the forecast.
I forgot to take a picture after I got the tarp on.
I’m really wanting to cut the openings for the widow and doors.
I figure by waiting it’ll help keep things dry.
