Four views of Grumpy's shed after two full days of help from Peter Bennett. Peter and I slaved through the first two of the four Heritage Open Days to finish the back wall of the shed and to clad its western wall (lower right). Each of those vertical boards is a two-man lift, being 3" thick pitch pine.
The eastern gable well is supposed to be of similar construction but we shall have nowhere near enough of this magnificent timber to do it with long enough boards. To make sense of what we have got, the obvious solution is to insert some windows into the eastern wall (on the blind side from public view). Besides providing light for the workbench in the workshop windows will enable us to make full use of the shorter lengths of timber.
Top right are the shed plans and a picture of the shed as it was at Appleby.
