Attaching the walls

The walls are attached to the deck with liquid nails and 1 1/2" #14 screws. The deck was pulled out of the frame and put on a table so I could get underneath to run the screws up from the bottom. The sides are visible on the right side of this photo.


I cut a slot in the deck for where the tails come down to the deck. The slot will give any water that runs down the tails a place to go other then into the kitchen area. The wood here will be sealed with a good waterproof sealer so the water drains out rather than soaking in.


Here are several pictures of the sides after they were attached. A piece of bailing twine was used to tie the sides to the ceiling of the shop to hold them in place while everything set up. I'll build the rear bulkhead before moving anything. The bulkhead will provide shear strength so the walls will stay in place.
