| two very ugly welded tools to
carry the building, the bits of wood protect the outside of
the building, and stop the tools from wobbling sideways. The hook part
goes under the building and the top part is about 1mtr above the
bottom edge, making it easy to lift the building

In the background the main building already flow coated and the freshly laminated shutter door and entry door

 The
lower building and door, seen from the front |
 the
ply rings and verticals, the top area has no rings as that is where
the steel tube ring runs on the wheels |
|

In order to carry on even during rain a shelter is build, and this is how it looks during the night |
Frame of the top, finished, awaiting the skin to be glued on the next day The rectangular ply sheets on the sides, are there to give the frame strength during the fitting of the skin
A lot of compound angles going here, hence the belt sander to tweak the joints |
 Skin
fitted, for those who want to know 12mm ply !! that takes some
doing.
Next job the roof |
 Did
I mention the Rain ? well 3 days in a row, and although I have
a tent build, the water coming of the roof turns the clay
ground into a skating rink
|
 Something
from space ?
The roofed top part sheltering from rain and storm |
