    Cross sleepers are in, and levels can now be sorted out.

    looks a bit flimsy, you probably need a bit more bracing

    Switched back to vege garden duties today (from woodstore build, which is nearly done, and pretty much weather proof now). A bit of faffing about move this to here, that to there, to facilitate various things that need to happen (fill levels etc).

    Talk about elaborate over the top extravagance or is that opulence......its beginning to look like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
    Imagine the tourist $$$$ you could make charging entry to see it Brett starting with impending GtG crowd.......although they should get FREE entry, cuppa and lunch as they will be the ones passing on the word. However I am sure a bag of Gold coins donation would go to future improvements and upkeep.

    I'll have some pics in a few days, but it's nearly finished! And thank gawd fer that!

    In the interim we have put the rafters up, battens on the walls that don't have Weldmesh panels to support the Birdwire.

    Currently about halfway through the Birdwire after three days at it. Doing the walls is pretty straight forward - cut to length,staple the top, pull it taut, staple the sides and then use copper wire to join the panels together at the seams. When I say"staples" I'm talking 20x2mm staples that are hammered in - over 1 kilo so far which I estimate is around 800-900 (must weigh and count them).

    Doing the roof is another kettle of fish altogether. I would rate this as THE worst job ever. It has all the tedium of the walls, but thrown into the mix is working at height, constantly moving the ladder and plank, not being able to reach the other side to staple it.....and three stinking hot days to do on. It's mighty slowwwww.........

    When that's done I have to make the two sliding doors up. I'll be using UniStrut channel and wheel assemblies for this. At that point I'll be able to plant out at least something for the remainder of the season (really dirty that he took so long that I've missed 3 months of growing), and there will remain the one last task of doing the plumbing. I can't do that until a retaining wall is built behind the shed, as the plumbing will be attached to that. The wall is currently underway (same builder) but I don't know when he'll be finished. Before Xmas (2016!) I hope.
