My photos are the only way I can jog my remember on what and how much work is getting done (mostly by Darren).
With the concrete set the remainder of rafters went up quickly.
One evening we went out the farm to do something or other, Darren went to the shed and I was just enjoying the moon shining through the rafters, as Darren drove back up the lights from the car moved from one place to another on the rafters until it lit Bruce majestically.
Darren cut the bird's mouths so accurately they lined up like little soldiers.... everything lines up so beautifully :)
Benny spent a week with us and helped with the timbers in the 'foyer' (sounds so grand eh?!).
The foyer has a lowered ceiling with exposed rafters and reclaimed pressed tin artistically painted .. or at least artistically wire buffed with the grinder.
Anyone who has experienced my arty self would know that it can be a little underwhelming, especially if it involves sewing! However, I have surprised myself with the distressed tin!
The other piece of art work I've been playing with is the house sign, the font is Higher Jump, which gives a muddy splash look. I've got a better idea of how to use the router trimmer to engrave the timber after practicing a few times.
The sign will include a Willy Wagtail ... wherever we have travelled we have had a Willy or Wilma travel with us, stopping to chatter on a branch and move on.
We've made it into a story of our own whereby it's the same Willy Wagtail we see each time, coming along for the trip or showing us the way (they do all look the same lol).
So today ... the gutters are finished and the ceiling in the foyer is up (just needs a bit of quad to finish off).
Tomorrow we'll start the sheeting by putting up some of the 141, 6 metre lengths of pine lining that I've been staining down in the shed.
