It is so exciting! The roofer has finished the two new A frames and Doug has lime cemented the walls back together around the four feet (as well as filling some gaps in the end of the roof).
Doug worked with the roofer on some parts of the installation that were a two man job and we got a discount for the work as it saved him having to hire someone to help! Perhaps it is Doug's new career!
The two new ones are the paler coloured ones, we plan on staining them to similar to the old ones - which are oak, the news ones are Douglas Fir.
A bit of a strange view - it is a 360 taken with a setting on the camera so the two ends join together. You can see where Doug has repaired the wall in three places and a fourth that still needs doing. The repair will be covered over with hempcrete when we one day get on to doing that so the finish is a bit 'rustic'
We still need to clean up and finish the surface of the new beams, the plan is to wire brush them with the angle grinder, Doug has done an experimental bit, as you can see it makes the grain stand out nicely - and has a finish similar to the existing beams.
