A small barn for the summer house 5, rafters

Back from sea and back from a canoeing trip with my brothers and all our children, I have returned to the small barn project.

The weather is as you would expect it from a Danish high summer: lots of rain and howling winds.. Not something that encourages you to work outside, but I like building this sort of thing, so I'll keep on anyway.

The children still finds it an interesting project, and they especially look forward to nailing on the roof boards, as that will yield instant recognizable results.

  1. It's coming along! Great photos.

    I forget. Did you mill this lumber yourself?

    1. Hi Brian

      Mette took the pictures, that's probably why they are better than usual :-)

      I did mill all the lumber myself, I guess that is one of the reasons why it is taking a bit of time to do they build.
