Another update. Progress has been slow due to spending way to much time at work.
1. Insulation in - ready for cladding. As of today all the cladding is now complete except for the 4 corners. I have to make up cover strips to keep the weather out.
2. Internal lining sheets are up on 3 walls.
3. The warm room walls have been sheeted with ply. This will be stained a darker colour. There will be a bench fitted under the window for the computer etc to sit on.
4. I've started work on the roof. If you look at my original post you will see the shape of the roof. To make to curved rafters I have screwed blocks to the floor to make a 5m radius curve. The solid timber was cut into 15mm thick strips and glued back together in the curved jig.
5. A rafter after removal from the jig. I just have to sand it to make it look pretty. I've made 4 - only 5 to go.
6. Step and door jamb fitted. I will soon start work on the door.
7. Pool deck more or less complete - just need to oil the decking boards. You can just see in this photo the steel beams the roof will roll on, temporarily braced with 'G' clamps.
It's been a long process but I'm starting to get excited about getting the roof on and making it weatherproof.
