Verandah

Unfortunately not a great photo, but none the less it shows the progress on the verandah roof on the Trainbarn.  I really like how it looks, with the 'break' between the main roof and the verandah, and how it all interacts with the portico.  There's a short section of verandah roof on the other side of the portico too.

In other 'news', I have written before about my highly-regarded Ferguson TE20 tractor, which is still very much a 'working' tractor despite being older than I am, having been built in 1953.  I had trouble starting it recently, resorting to touching wires on bare terminals to turn it over, which at least you can do to keep it going.  Anyway, I found a replacement starter switch very easily on eBay and it is now here awaiting installation.  A unique feature of the Fergie is that you start it using the gear lever, which activates the starter switch.  It really impresses me that parts are still so readily available for such an old piece of machinery.  Roll-on Fergie!!
