Starting to put the house together

 January 2023




Putting the walls of the ground floor and first floor together was not a problem, but the roof was.  Added to the problem was the fact that I couldn't put the back on before we went on holidays and upon our return the walls and roof had sagged to one side... 😪

When I finally thought I had it right I put the back on, only to discover that the pitch of the roof was not correct and the walls were leaning too much so I could not fit the door properly.  In the end I bought a new sheet of mdf and started again.  Second time around I had more success. 😊







Before I had planned to build the windows and doors myself I had bought a few doors.  So, the door to the rooftop area is a double door.  To make it fit properly so that the doors could open completely I had to make the door frames narrower on the inside.  That worked quite well.

Life got in the way, and nothing was done for a long time.  Just a few [ictures taken to show what the back of the house looked like with the new sheet of mdf fixed.
