 Wednesday 19th August after a night of steady rain a nice start to the day.


The cooler temperatures are making the assembly of the new shed easier  although the timber and plans are now wet. So carefully separating the wet pages and look up roof construction all it says is is fit purling dependent on shed size but none are listed  in the parts list.

So sort out 38 x38 timbers into lengths and check lengths against positions on the shed. First idea was wrong long ones with roof on top.


This looked possible but not to plan so off with the beams.
Purling now sorted so ends fitted back and front screwed down then add 5 beams front to rear.

Mike is now busy cutting and installing the insulation r  for boarding the interior.

Now sort out the tongue and groove for the roof and fix down using screws not nails as supplied.

One half completed 


The second half well under way, the insulation will go on top of this as the long beams now sit on this structure which we then board and felt. 


Mike is doing well with the insulation but the booklet states two people should take around ten hours to complete this shed build so we are well slow.
Warped timbers and some flimsy design have meant a redesign to our standards.
