Wednesday 12th August a beautiful summers day at 31C before the heat wave.

The mail coach body screw tightening and repaint is coming along the screws were tight but the hot dry weather has caused shrinkage so some have gone in a couple of turns this means they will be rock solid when the wood expands with moisture again.

The Canadian Pacific sign is taking shape and looks a lot better.

The floorboards are done for the shed base and are secured to all the beams on opposite sides to prevent warping.

There is a lot of parts to sort out and identify so laying them out helps.

All 4 corners up  and 3 sides fully in

A lot of assembly in the blazing sun with a few moments the plan shows two 3ft panels in the rear but we got an extra 4ft and a 2ft and the door frame parts to get the measurements correct are flimsy so some 4” x 4” or 4”x 2” will go in.

The hot weather finally beat us and computing/ phone problems have meant a late up date on the blog..
