+RonC Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Started work on the open fronted Summer House for the corner of the garden. Got the base made and some noggins fitted. I have got to level the ground and flatten it, fit some legs and stone bases then it's decking for the top before I start on the Summer House!! My back's killing me!!!

philjay Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Very tidy job there Ron. We have a chiminea as well, they cook stuff really well, I have more success rate with ours than an open barby +RonC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 A bit more done today, the back wall and some of one side. Got order some more feather Edge boards on Monday. The roofing is only temporary until they decide to make more OSB boards!! BAZ, Doc and Bassinghamobservatory 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Left hand wall now completed and I hope to finish the Right hand wall tomorrow. I still cannot get hold of any OSB board for the roof yet so temporary roof has to stay till then!! Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Looking good Ron. I wished I lived closer to you I have sheets and sheets of marine ply here, would have done that roof a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Finished the walls today, I need to source some OSB for the roof to finish it! Of course we need to buy some relaxing chairs and a table to stand the bottles on!!! and gravel around the base etc... BAZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 What about a couple of fold down shelves mounted on the side walls? Looking good mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
