Today was so good I didn’t want to stop. It was getting dark though and I was at a natural conclusion. This right now is as high as I’ve been about this project, genuinely loved it today.
The shack has structure! Awesome. The timber frame walls are up, and tacked together. There were some pretty serious discrepancies in terms of corner alignment, but the wood really was bent. I managed to brutus it back into some kind of line. I don’t think it matters.
I did manage to work out how I was going to do the door, and I spent a good length of time looking at a working door to make sure I’ve got things sorted.
The window seems higher than I’d anticipated.
Steve Jourdain tagged in to help me lift the walls into position. I would have struggled by myself for sure. I took the best time lapse of us putting the walls up which I'd like to put on here, but with my dialup just registering a new pb of 3 bytes per day, there's no way I'm going to get it on from here.
Blimmin anything could happen tomorrow. Next tasks: horizontally brace the walls, I’ll see if I need diagonal ones too; lay the floor, with all that that entails; build the trusses for the roof; assemble the roof. Maybe I need to do the roof before I do the floor. I really don’t want the floor getting wet.
I love summer.
