Day 111 - 113 Top and Bottom

Captain Seth and his merry men have been tap, tap, tapping for several days. Having secured trusses, supporting beams and generally trying to square-up an un-square barn, without detracting from it's character, they've been on rafter duty on the North elevation.



The spine of rafters on the North face is almost complete

Mark, don't do it. We need you!

Meanwhile, with an "all-clear" from Captain Seth atop the roof, the BarnBoys could make a start on concreting the floor of the north elevation. They waited patiently for Mr Concrete, aka Mad Mike, who was delayed due to the freezing temperatures, forcing the concrete elves to wait for water to thaw before they could fill the belly of the lorry, allowing Mad Mike to be on his way.

As if by magic, BarnGirl has a concrete floor!

Thank you, Digger Ryan, for bringing your 'Bull'. After a once over with his vibrating tamp rail, Digger Ryan brought forth, the 'bull' and smoothed the surface of BarnGirl's floor.

There are several more layers of stuff to go on top of this layer of concrete.....more of that to follow, when I'll try and be a little more specific about 'stuff'.

And so, to bed.
