Closing off the lower panels; before n\u2019after.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Tis Sunday. A day of rest! Or not. I was off to Screwfix early, and then back to the shed, doing lots of little bits of work. Such as filling in gaps in the cladding, as pictured above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Either end of a \u2018tie-beam\u2019.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And I added a more or less horizontal tie-beam, to stop the middle of the shed, where, along the longer sides, two panels abut, to stop the shed bowing either outwards or inwards, and to keep it square\/parallel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was able to fill in most of the cladding gaps. But there are three places where I need longer pieces of cladding than any I currently have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the remaining gaps.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the longest missing piece <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And finally this one, at t\u2019front.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully I can get these gaps filled soonish? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the windows have now been washed. Including the only \u2018original\u2019 one that\u2019s left, pictured below. I still think I\u2019ll want to add more glass, as I want the workshop to be as well lit, naturally and electrically, as poss\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The sole original window that remains.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And all the original doors have been re-attached, alongside the path. Including both the double \u2018barn style\u2019 doors, pictured immediately below. And the larger single one, down another pic. The latter opens and shuts just as it ought to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
These aren\u2019t closing as they should!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As well as the doors above not quite closing aright, you can perhaps also see that I\u2019ve had to add a temporary lower framing member. This is another of the myriad small jobs that needs properly finishing, ASAP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d like to make the additional piece tie in as strongly as possible. Esp\u2019 as it not really supported. Hmmm!? What joints shall I use? We shall see\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And below is a view from the pathway. Showing all the side doors back in situ. I\u2019m tempted to remove the double doors altogether, as they\u2019re not opening or closing quite as they should. And, what with the two larger doors – the new one in the front, and the other older one, closer to the camera in the above photo – they may very well be redundant anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teresa and I are currently spending lots of our time at home our in the garden. During this heat wave we\u2019ve mostly sought out the shadier spots. And one of these is the area under the tree that\u2019s now behind the latest shed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we\u2019re both home we\u2019ll have our meals outside as well. It\u2019s really rather lovely! And we\u2019ve now got a good deal of choices, as to where exactly in the garden we might want to be. It\u2019s such fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
