A beautiful sunny day today, after a wet and dismal weekend. Good news- the painting of all the verandah timber is finished!! I'd have to admit that I'm a bit 'over' Manor Red, but I'm sure that'll wear off now that it's finished.
The good news too is that the doors are now installed and look fabulous! They were made by TFD Joinery in Toowoomba, and they're superbly made.
I was planning to paint the doors Wilderness green, but they're made of such beautiful timber I don't think I can do it! Perhaps I'll oil them initially, then they can always be painted later on, but once they're painted you can't go back!!
Not a good photo as the light was all wrong, but this is the external progress to date! The actual roof will go on the portico tomorrow, then the rest of the verandah roof will be built later in the week.
It's been a fantastic month, though extremely busy. Overall though, seeing the Trainbarn coming together so quickly is everything I could have hoped or dreamt of! Definitely worth waiting for!
Looking great! There would be a lot of guys who would like to be in your position... Good luck with your endeavours. Cheers, Walter.
