More progress on the cladding

It's really good to see so much progress on the Trainbarn.  The windows are now in and I'm really happy with them.  Here are some more photos of recent progress.

I hadn't seen any photos of the verandah roof effectively finished. We'll be putting weatherboards across the front and sides of the portico.  Lots of Colorbond  Trimdek waiting to be installed!

This is around the corner of the verandah, showing what I call my 'workshop annex', which will be used for storage of trains not on display and a workbench for maintenance of the trains.  Eventually a disabled-access ramp will be here, too.

This is an interesting photo, in that the colours are more accentuated than normal, and it makes the Trainbarn look like it's in the desert somewhere, which it's not!  But fantastic to see all the cladding on the back.  I'm really happy with the colour and profile, exactly what I was looking for.  It's meant to look a bit like an American Barn, which are primarily clad with 'board and batten' construction.  The tank pad is in the foreground.

As always, very exciting!

Clad

Some very good news today is that work has resumed on the Trainbarn after a short break, with the all-important metal cladding being installed.

I don't think a photo of the back of the shed has been taken before, and this one will probably be the last, too!  I guess it's the 'easy bit' of the cladding, with no intrusive windows or doors, and certainly is where I would've started too!  This phase also includes installing all the downpipes and drainage plumbing.  There will be a really big rainwater tank just to the left of what you can see in this photo.

Very, very good to see some progress again.
