Workshop

It's about three hours drive to get to Barney's. The Gorse Fox arrived in time for a coffee a tour of his new house and to get stuck in to the workshop build. First order of the day was to get the stud walls up and square, and get the whole fabric bolted down to the under frame. This went without a hitch. In celebration we headed into town to see the Samosa Lady who made us some lovely lamb samosas and vegetable samosas which we took back to eat with a cup of tea.

Afternoon began with the insertion of the ridge beam and then the measuring and cutting of the rafters (with the bird's mouth cut-outs). We formed a successful production line for this and made full use of the various power tools available to us. By half past four the roof structure was complete and the cross-brace in place. We had achieved what we set out to complete. As if to signal the end, the rain started as we were clearing away.

During the evening we went to The Greyhound Inn in Fenny Bridges for a pint and very fine meal. Perfect end to the day.
