Well today turned out to be a 'snow day' with my family not able to get to work and nursery! After a fun morning building a massive snowman my 2 year old went to bed...

So out came some prototype photos, a ruler and my notebook. I decided with the cold weather baseboard construction will have to wait and my time would be best spent on the structure I'm least looking forward to constructing - the pub. I've not got views from all sides but I've got both ends and the front plus some partial rear shots - enough to get started anyway!

So I just worked from eye - I'm the sort of chap who doesn't count bricks. I worked out from my station building and some general known dimensions (door size for example) the rough size of the building and drew things up by eye. Funny that when I checked against the dimensions I got from Google Maps the scaled down pub works out about a 85% representation - perfect!

So with the floor plan, side and front end drawn out I figured the easiest way to proceed is to just start... so hear we are - first cuts. More progress tomorrow if the snow keeps coming! 6" fresh today ontop of about 4" from yesterday that had frozen and compacted a little - roads are pretty bad on my housing estate.
