4 Barrel barn build.

Woodboxkiwi@ that is going to be a wonderful building and a joy to work in. Good thing the cow didn't get out when concrete was soft. On the roof of your house, do you have a rolling cover for the skylights?​

That is a redundant solar water heater.

After yesterday's debacle I was happy to get the high wall fabricated on the deck.
I braced it up temporarily to move it into position.

I then set about standing it up against the existing wall with a chain hoist.

I added more bracing to hold it upright while moving it into its final position.

I pulled it sideways with a load strap and a bit of good old leverage.

In position ready for the top and bottom plate extensions to tie it all in, along with a couple of permanent braces at the top back onto the other walls.

Another pile of sticks closer to the finish line!

It was a funny old day today, equinox weather is kicking in. Every time I headed out to get something done a rain squall would blow through and get everything wet and cold.
I did manage to get the diagonal strap bracing onto the high wall that I finished framing last week.

The rest of the day was spent writing a list of and doing sketches of all the flashings that we will be needing soon, also doing some research on dimensions for the roller doors. I will be framing up the walls that the doors hang off next, so better be sure of sizings before we start chopping up lengths of timber.
I also made contact with the guy that will be manufacturing the continuous spouting for us. He will be here later in the week. I figured that I would rather have the spouting made and sitting around until I need it, rather than have water running all over the ground making a big muddy puddle.
