Right well the wooden part of the roof is done now. An interesting day for me, I felt gross for a lot of the early part of it, slept twice, then felt really good from about 4 onwards.
I became a bit puzzled at the end of the day when I slung a couple of sheets of roofing iron on. I have the right number of iron pieces, but they are too long. I was going to cut them back to an appropriate length, but I started wondering about leaving them long.
It made a really cool overhang, and would protect the bricks really well. I could dig some pillars into the ground to support this extra overhang. I’m annoyed because it is going to take me a while to work out what I’m going to do here. I don’t want to think I just want to build tomorrow.

I found some metal stuff that I can use as a diagonal brace. It will tighten things up nicely. Maybe I need to put braces on the roof and on the walls. The whole thing looks really big to me now.
I had some good times banging on the structure with the sledgehammer. It was really satisfying feeling the nails go in fast courtesy of the big mass, and knocking the structure into shape.
