There are still a few handfuls of pins to pop in, but functionally at least this ceiling is complete! . . . . . #poppingpins #nearlynailedit #savedfromwaste #skipdivingtreasures #newceiling #onwiththeshow #gardenroom #lockdownlodge #imadeitmyself https://www.instagram.com/p/B_zZ0jLj54m/?igshid=1vrsdrso1ejmw

In between walks a few things have happened, such as getting the end walls tidied up in readiness for cladding. Today I made a bit of progress on a doorway too. A nearby neighbour has dismantled their garage as part of a planned house extension, so a 200yd walk enabled me to gather a few of the old trusses. The red arch shows roughly where they were in use yesterday. With local timber yards closed I had thought I'd not be able to find any batten for the roof, to enable the cedar shingles to go on. But this wood + my table saw will rectify that shortfall. The shingles themselves *all* came out of a skip, though it was a good 2 years of regular visits to collect this hoard. Now I'm just hoping there will be enough for the job! . . . . . #skipdivingtreasures #makinguseofwaste #lockdownlodge #localprovenance #cedarshingles #recentlyrecovered #reclaimedwood #summerhouse #gardenroom #progressisbeingmade https://www.instagram.com/p/B_S3nKKjfUZ/?igshid=mcv4geaxqr8a
