Well it's late and didn't want to go to bed before getting more practice. Cut up some 1/8 mild steel and was going to make a box but I think my bandsaw adjustments are out of way so they didn't end up perfectly square. I started to make a box and realized I didn't cut a top and bottom, but I cut too make of one side so I made a house.

Even did the roof

Landscaping is coming later in the week, :laugh:

This was just like doing a box but it was good practice just doing flat beads going up/down on the roof. It's something I haven't tried before, usually everything is flat. So that's it, practice is practice. I tried lots of different techniques and still trying to find that right one for me.

You need to fire your contractor. The door and window are nowhere near square and plumb just to mention a few issues... :laugh:

When your done with the landscaping and everything, paint it and hang it in a tree and some bird might build a nest in it soon. Just be sure to drill a drain hole or two in the bottom to keep the basement from flooding.:rolleyes:

Better make sure it's hung in permanent shade. Could have fried eggs if you hang it in the sun :)
