Planks



More stud work added above the main beam and another of the roof curve pieces added to the back. 12mm plywood that used to be our utility room floor. The dusty rectangle is where the freezer stood. At this point I decided to leave out the decorative plank that forms the divider between vertical cladding on the upper section and horizontal below.

Leaving out that plank meant I was able to work from behind the wall standing on another informal scaffold plank to cut each of the vertical wall cladding planks. The little gap visible is where the plank will slot in. So I cut the planks to the length plus that gap, then held the planks with their tops poking up above the roof line and traced on the profile to be cut. Pop the plank back in and check for fit, then draw from the back to chop off the excess at the bottom.
