Man Talk

Colin,  Darren and Clive discussing the rafters.

The Long Rafters

These are the long rafters. We have ten of them and they weigh about 150kg each. One has been cut perfectly to the drawing, unfortunately the drawing is incorrect. We need another drawing, for which we fortunately have email, and another rafter.

We have hired a crane to lift these brutes into position on Friday. We will miss the fun as we have to go to Amberley to collect the Ranger.

Poring Over the Drawings

Darren and Clive poring over the drawings. We seem to have another drama.

Enough Space?

It’s a triple garage, surely big enough for the most determined hoarder????????

And a Garage

Working on the Short Rafters

We Now Have Rafters

These are the short rafters. They turned out to be a bit too short, so we had to pack them with other wood.

We have Gables

Doesn’t the wood look nice with the evening light on it?  We are now nearly ready to put the roof on. Colin and I will do as much sanding and varnishing as possible over the weekend, once that’s done we can put the windows in. I think in two weeks we will be enclosed, then we can get the kitchen in, the bathroom, and do the floor tiles.
