Rafters

 Im working on the rafters at the moment, I just ordered 680 meters of batten and 4600 Cedar shingles,that should keep be busy for a while!

Straw!

20th March

It’s been a challenge from the start to get the design finished. The last couple of weeks my sidekick (Robin) and I, along with Alan (the professional builder), have been completing the important details of the design. Such as, the poach construction, window placement, Rafter details, ground floor plan and the mezzanine details. So, I’ve been doing a bit of model making and boring computer work.  In the mean time we’ve finished the timber frame and started putting bales in, using a bale needle and twine to adjust bale sizes and a hedge trimmer for shaping.

The A-frame is going up!

Dovetailed floor joist timbers cut and installed. The straw will be in soon...
