Nice job, that is a proper roof truss.
 Not like the modern gang nailed lolly sticks. :)

That's really beautiful. Such a labour of love. I like the ridge tile, the lovely beam and the piece of furniture. It all looks just stunning and like it's always been there. What a really rewarding project. He should be immensely proud   :)

Yeh, and thats just what the architect  put in the plans.  OH asked  him to change it for one in green oak.  The artichoke said did we know it would cost a fortune and thats if we could find someone to make it.  OH said he needn't worry about that, he'd make it himself.  :tongue2:   :D

If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

It wasn't until i started to get the photos together that i sort of realised what he'd done.  Its not massive but hes got a lovely finish to everything.  Hes not been too well this year and has just started to be fit enough to work again.
I'm please you think it looks like it always been there compostqueen as he said he want to make it look like a converted pig sty :lol:

Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.
