After a slow start, we got quite a bit done. The day began at the Enviro Shop picking up a load of pallets to go with the loot I scored at the Outlook shop. After getting all the tools together, Matt and I cut the aluminium profiles to size for the window frames:
The pallets we salvaged varied greatly in terms of the quality of the timber. We spent a fait bit of time breaking them down into the individual pieces of timber. While some of the pallets came apart really easily, others were nailed together pretty solidly. We also ran into ab bit of trouble cutting and nailing wood with stubborn nails still embedded.
We're using aluminium foil to represent sarking on our wall:
and as Glenn said, our frame is somewhat overengineered, but we had the timber...
After a slow start and a long day, we finished up just after dark with a partly clad frame.
Stand by for the last phase of construction (finishing off the window, cladding and roof) and our test. More photos from Saturday can be found on our Twitter feed in the bar to the right.
