It wasn’t as fun today. I’m about 2/3 of the way done with the floor I think. We must have used all of the straightish bits of wood yesterday I think because today I was left with things that were bent and warped. In one place the warp of the wood is so gross that it is going to need big planing to get it approximating flat.
My 3 mm standard of yesterday looks laughable right now, I reckon I blew out to about 10 mm at one point. I’ve inserted a strip of offcut in there so I think that will come up ok. It’s not perfect, but once again I can blame non perfect wood. It is my floor and it is shack like.
I decided that I was going to plane all of the rimu timbers up to see if there was anything worth using for furniture rather than for the shack floor. From our discoveries yesterday, 2/5 had the really nice orange/red colouring and the others weren’t as nice. So, failing to find any that were geniunely lovely I decided I’d just keep using them for the floor. There may still be the need for a couple of pine ones to make it all fit, but not too many, and they should all be invisible if my arrangement of items within the shack goes according to plan.
I think I should probably sleep in it first night that I have the floor down, and that very well could be tomorrow. I hope it’s reasonably still though.
It was a gross day here today, overcast, windy, not warm, bits of drizzle hinting but never really letting fly.
Yesterday’s goggleless antics have left their mark
