Highslide JS 25 August 2014

Keops hadn't supplied the right barge boards. They were too shallow to cover the ends of the purlins. I don't like exposed purlins and view barge boards as partly sacrificial. We agreed that the best way to resolve this was for me to buy some wood locally. It was difficult to find timber at least 230mm deep so I decided to buy some (not cheap!) cedar tongue and groove. I think it breaks it up what would otherwise be a fairly plain and dominant feature. Cedar is lovely wood to work with.

Here we are with the outside construction phase reasonably complete and the scaffolding removed. We need a small wall building to the right where all the bits of scrap wood are. The field will need reseeding in the Spring. There's no point in doing it now as the local pheasant population will just eat it all.

The builders came back first to build a wall by the side of the shed. The ground falls away steeply to the field so a wall was required to ensure the slope didn't get washed away.

The wall uphill from the shed also needed some work as it had been built as bad as the original shed foundations, i.e. badly! Again a wall has been built by the steepest section. The pathway has been flagged and the steps up to the house path have been built.

In 2015, I had a stove fitted inside. It struggles to heat the shed on a really cold day.
