Add to the frame

Started the day the same as yesterday. And tehn we cracked on with the frame for the terrace. Having sorted out the levels and prepared the backfill for the first section it was just a case of fitting beams and cementing in the ends nearest the barn front wall.

Progress was swift once we developed a system. The halt only came when we ran out of 18cm nails. Good job it’s shopping day tomorrow. That’s a point, I need to check how many decking fixings we have too.

It took the begining of the afternoon to mix concrete and build piers under the end of the beams.

We washed up tools and went for another forage along the terraces in the woods to add to the stash of mushrooms drying in the cieling.
