Bill, top effort. Don't pay any regard to the naysayers!

Don't worry, in the best PH tradition I'm ignoring anything I don't like.

It's great to get a clear run at it today and do most of the shingles:

To quote Kevin Mcloud ‘the attention to detail is amazing. There is none ‘

Some very honest comments.
No sitting on the fence here.
No, really, don’t attempt to sit on it. Leaning on it might be ok. Gently.

Just seen this "build" thread and I am itching to ask, what's going on with the 6th from bottom cladding board. Did you hide something like a triangle or similar behind it ?

Other than that it's a fine effort.

I heard something the other day about a potential ban on burning logs, I hope your work hasn't been wasted.

It is to be a log store.much better than what was there before.
Well done.

It’s not often you get to see workmanship of that standard, and I get to see a lot of projects.

A fine looking piece of work.

I assume it's flammable?

There's a step in the wall as it's double thickness at the bottom.

We're very rural so we'll be fine for a bit. The side return will be a wetsuit/BBQ store.

I'm loving the way you've managed to avoid using any form of plumb or square...

I like it, I call it rustic, my excuse for doing something that a professional would wince at.

Wow!

Thank you Bill, your pictures were the perfect antidote to a particularly crappy day. I never thought a log store could provide so much humour.

How about creating an art installation now in your log store?

Er...bit harsh no?

[Bear-n]

[TooMany2cvs]

I think you're all being horribly harsh. Sure, the boards cladding the back are less than straight - they're waney-edge... The rest doesn't look too bad at all for what it is, and is an order of magnitude better than what was there.

Drunk surely?

[guindilias]

How can a single man gang rape anything though?

[Bill]

And again for your delectation...



Annoyingly I've run out of tiles so can't get the roof finished yet. Bit of digging out and some stone and job's a good'un.

[dickymint]

Fair play Bill now it's at that stage it doesn't look at all bad - well done
