Looks really good to me. Who needs a stinkin' miter saw?! :-)

We landed on the lot with a tent and some tools, so we
had to keep it fairly easy and simple, for our average skill.

One thing that really blew me was the flat 24x24 roof.
We sledged in 4x8 T&G screwing as we go, trying to
keep it square.
After we finished I did the corner to corner measure to
see how square it turned out, I'd be happy within an inch
or so, damn thing came in at 1/64" within 1/100 th inch.
So I get down off the roof, grab a serious swig of drink,
and get wife to double check - I figured I was dreaming,
nope +/- 100th" so I celebrated with the benefit of spirits.
I guess all the compounding errors cancelled out.

Come to recall, the first structure I built decades ago was a two car
garage. I had no miter saw.

My experience is 20% of work is structural, 80% clad
and interior. Oh and 90% of that is figuring out how to
do it!
