From the album: Obsy Build
With the roof slightly ajar. Gives good access in the middle which is difficult to nail in the shingles! I fell once as the ladder went out from under me. -

But it's painful. I hand nailed over 3000 nails during this bit. -

Now the roofing goes on - cedar shingles is the choice for their light weight and longevity (and lovely aroma!) -

A quick job with the Skilsaw put up the OSB sheets on the frames and ready for the breathable membrane wrap. -

I did get another mate to help out - these frames are heavy! We put the fence sides in clad already in 11mm OSB -

You'll also note the neighbouring fence is now down to give me access which will become much more evident in a moment... -

Construction day begins! AKA Good Friday. Blessed with lovely weather. The frames all slot into their 4x4 supports with a gentle tap of the mallet. Goes up within 2 hours. -

I have to admit to buying a toy to help with this bit. Best purchase ever. -

Decided to go with a 4x2 frame set within a 4x4 structural frame at 16"OCs. All C24 timber. Good lesson in framing, the first one took me over an hour to cut and assemble but I got this down to under 30 minutes by the end! -

The timber arrives. Again having to drag huge quantities of building materials through the house. -

Right, foundation in and all good to start the build!
