Quoted from Brtlkat:Was there a reason for using cedar as your base?
Cedar is natures way of having moisture protection and long term resistance to the elements. It is extremely acidic though and recommend stainless steel or hot dipped galvanized fasteners. You can also use ACQ lumber or most of the sheds/storage buildings use galvanized steel studs as a base.

It's actually just pressure treated wood. Due to how close the wood is to the ground (which is often wet in my area), I wanted to protect the skids and floor joists from rotting.

I understand the close to the ground thing, But it looks like cedar and not pt. I never seen brown PT.

It is pretty common here, cost a little more than regular PT but looks nice

Interesting. Maybe it's a regional thing? For me it's kind of difficult to even find PT wood that doesn't look like that. It could also be a matter of my camera quality, which doesn't really show the perforations in the wood, which is pretty distinctive.

Quoted from snowy_owl:The roof arrived today! These things always take longer than one expects, but here we are. Weather is getting better so I think I will be able to get this installed soon.

Quoted from snowy_owl:Roof is done. Far from perfect, but it's good enough for me. Now I just have to get a door and windows in and I will be able to start making pinball!
