DAY 5 |
|
| Interior paperclay is now complete. | |
| Up go the wooden trusses tohold the ceiling boards, I think this is when it gets exciting! | |
| Technique used to create the "eyebrow" roofline. Thin pieces of wood glued together, sloping gently over the arch of the sidewall. | |
| The completed eyebrow wall. Only thing left is to trim the edge pieces a bit. | |
| Interior view, very cool effect. 11 hour day. |

DAY 6 |
|
| Today we will be taught how to shingle our roofs with real cedar shakes. Supplies include bags of chips (short and long lengths of shakes - hand cut by Rik), white glue and a miter cuter. But, I quickly abandoned the miter cuter (which is great in other applications) and used a simple kitchen scissors and my fingers. | |
| First few rows laid. | |
| The slightly more difficult eyebrow side is begun. 12 hour day. |
