More painting dear!!!

Not much has happened other than more painting. The shiplap which is going round the top to finish and fill the gap before the roof is topped off, has been undercoated and painted twice.

So far

So this is where we currently stand.  Waiting on some more profiles from the blacksmith (ordered). Windows still to be fitted and more importantly finishing off the roof.  Batons purchased and when we get them the shiplap which you guessed will need painting! So the outside is almost complete.

All in the Detail

The profiles round the windows have been fitted and have also now had primer and first topcoat.

Painting!

So the hardwood window frames and door are now finished ready for fitting.  Two coats of primer and 2 coats of topcoat. Phew that was a lot of painting. Much faster work when we moved them from the spare bedroom and into the hut!

Repair needed

After 2 months with the roof sitting on top it killed off the lawn. Already seeded and grown.

End of Jun 2016

Oscar has been enjoying laying on the roof section and is determined to enjoy even when its suspended off the ground.

A test of Tom's rigged hoist.

Between them Tom and Larry managed to hoist the roof up and slide over on to the hut, which has the OSB and outer vapour barrier already.

The contraption that Tom used to lift the roof up and then enabled them to slide on.

June 2016

11 flat panels

4 curved roof panels

The components for outside the hut have been sitting on the deck since September but now we have a run of good weather they can at last get the first coat of paint.  They already have a green finish to them but they scratch and mark quite easily so they will be painted with Johnsons metal paint.
