24th and 25th May - The last Clad

Third side feather edge done and last barge board fitted.

Front now complete.  Barge boards fitted after cladding complete.  ( Noticed on the Video too late that the jig saw was set at an angle so that the drift of the underside due to blade bend is compensated for - the fit is fine, but would have been even better if noticed earlier).  

Was waiting for the primer/undercoat of the  roof underside to be done and trying to minimise the times the trestles needed moving.

Tarpualings all folded up so much quieter when it blows.


Only the fascias, some painting and the corner pieces bottoms to trim back/plugging screw holes and the outside will be done.  Used longer screws than those suppied to help pull them in tight.  Bit of trimming of the bottom boards requied to allow the corners fit well.  

Had to do same on many of the boards that were fitted around windows and doors - the board top and or bottoms are up to to 3-5 mm thicker than the 20mm setting distance allowed for.  Result still looks good - used knife blade rather than pencil to mark edge of cut needed so no pencil marks.  Depth removed only where required at bottom of new board by guess work on basis that letting water fall down was better than having a lot of micro ponds.
