Hi Martin, oh no I have been rumbled....
Hi Guys, I have spend the whole day working on the shed.
All six storm braces are now in place. You can fit them internally or externally. I chose to fit them inside. These tie the gable end timbers to the lower logs via a floating fitting to allow for expansion/contraction.
I have also gone around and painted all the window frames and fascia boards again, so these are now finished.
Added the floating bolts to the top of the window frames and added the makers plates over them. Also started fitting the trim pieces inside between the roof and walls. All these small finishing jobs take up a surprising amount of time.
Done some measuring up for the station platform. I was hoping to use some of the spare insulation foam from the floor or ceiling. The ceiling foam on the chipboard backing though is too high, so I will be using the floor foam, but this is too shallow and will require some backing, maybe cork, to bring it up to the correct height.
I am making the most of my time, as Lez has got wallpaper and paint coming for the house....
Cheers, Ade.
