Weeks of work….?

Got some more wood delivered today and this should probably last me a while (famous last words) because it allows me to finish the ends so all the walls are complete and cover the roof. Before the roof can be boarded I will need to make the gable overhangs for both ends which is quite […]

2 days away, not drinking!
