Over she blows!

A bit of screwing and glueing of stringers has been going on indoors during the cold weather; but also I managed to finish fixing the stringers on the underside of the cuddy base. Today, as the weather looks settled for a few day, I turned the cuddy base over so it is the correct way up. Ready now to start construction proper.

Progress!

It feels good to be building again, even though only a small amount. I measured and cut out one of the cabin lower sides today. Also, I uncovered the base of the cuddy that had been wintering outside. Pleased to say that it has survived the snow and ice from the big December freeze. Outdoor builds are possible, but a lot of patience needed and any timber needs to be protected in some way; in my case by sheathing in epoxy resin.
