First real day of the shed build today.
Today was the first day when Thom & I had a full run at the project together.
The morning was spent setting out the concrete pads in the formation required and all to the same level +/- a bit of "bubble" and offloading the delivery truck with all the timber.
I was surprised at the weight of the tanalised timber compared to the plain CLS studwork timber as we unloaded the truck it came on,
Then we turned our attention to the making of the inner section of the raft that sits on top of the blocks.
Once that was done we began making the studwork walls as separate sections to be mounted to the raft at a later stage.
Tomorrow, we will place the raft on the concrete pads and complete that part with another ring of timber beams around the edge of the inner section and then place the walls on top.
By close of play today 2 of the long-walls of the shed have been made and two short-walls will be made tomorrow.
While it is true that Thom did the vast bulk of the work (I am paying him a decent day rate to do so), I was there assisting on every step and this old body really knows all about it.
My wife is fussing round me like an old mother hen and surprisingly my Son pitched up this evening to announce he will be joining us tomorrow,
