Full steam ahead!

It's obviously been very quiet around Whistlestop for the past month or so, but that all changed after lunch today!  The builder arrived to say that all our prefab frames for the Trainbarn where here, but couldn't get through the gate.  Some quick work with the crane fitted to one of the trucks, and some chainsawing, and voila, a newly widened gateway!  The frames were offloaded onto the slab, ready for erecting, starting on Monday.

These frames should go up very quickly, although there is some internal framing that will be done in the traditional manner.  The scissor trusses for the roof will arrive mid week and then it will really look like something!  This stage also involves fitting the iron roof, and building the verandah roof with the entry gable.

This weekend looks like being the calm before the storm!  'Twill be exciting seeing it go up though!!
