What a dominating day of shack building, maybe the best I’ve done. I put all of the studs into 2 of the walls, prepared the joist reinforcing, then cut the flooring timbers to length.

If it is fine tomorrow I’ll get the floor down I reckon. The tarps that I’ve been using to cover the flooring timbers aren’t very good, no matter how well I seem to cover the wood, rain gets in. This is a bit of a concern because once I get that floor down I don’t want rain getting at it and through it, and it will be some time before I get the roof on to cover it. I may need to rig up something using the corrugated iron.

I had the cricket blazing which was just a good sideline piece of interest while I worked. (Day 5 NZ v Pakistan 3rd test at McLean Park, ending in a rained-out draw)
