framing cottage

With the slab complete, and 28 days of curing, we could begin erecting the steel framing of the shed. It was fun - like a big boys Erector set or (Meccano set in Aussie!) It actually when together smoothy once we figured out which parts where which. The main framing went up in a weekend, but the girts and purlins took more time - many self-drilling screws, over and over. Neighbor Tony came up to supervise and Framer Tony stopped by with Sarah and Remi to ask if we were moving in that night! Right!
Once the framing was done, Chris helped Graham 2 days to get the roof on ASAP. I help over the weekend and we did it! It was a cold foggy morning, but by the time the sun came out you didn't want to be on the roof! Even the Rover made a guest appearance. Great job by all!
