Well, step forward on the shed, finished post #4.  I was pretty excited.  The next timber to cut joint in is the top beam.  Had to mill off 3/4 of an inch, good to get the saw going after several months.  Brought it in the shop then got quite a surprise when I went to mark up the shop drawings.  One of my knee brace joints isn't working :-(.  I'll have to figure out how to take care of it....
