The first piece!!

Today was an utterly miserable day outside- cold, windy and wet.  It never got above 9 degrees C.  Very tempting to just stay inside by the wood-fire, but I did manage to get two loads of rubbish from the Trainbarn site taken to the dump.  Not much to go now!  It's all marked out, and usually during construction the building always looks too small until the walls go up, but the Trainbarn looks big!  Wide, particularly, but then it needs to be.

A very pleasant occurrence today was that I was given the first piece of the Trainbarn!!  A friend had a really nice set of fretwork for a double and single doorway that they knew would be useful to me, and now it awaits the building to be built around it!!  There will be a wide doorway between the entry area and the trains area, and this is where the fretwork will go.  There are two pieces, one for each side, and a knobby thing that goes inverted in the middle.  Should look great!
