This school in the UK decided they wanted a new boathouse so they built one using traditional methods of building.

You can see the progress of the building by clicking on the various dates.

I expect Ryan's photos will show us his progress in a similar way.

G'day Rob,

What a fantastic, wonderful story!

The determination to build such a magnificent traditional building, in only just over three months, is just amazing!

It does seem something of a pity that the crafts-people had to be largely brought in from Germany and the U.S. / Canada - but they surely did have the skills required.

The pictorial record is a joy - makes me want to be a schoolboy again - at Abingdon!

Thanks for this Rob!

Cheers!
