Rough casting revisited

September 14, 2008

I removed the protective plastic yesterday and today I took down the scaffolding. Check out the photo with the front gable rough casted, ready for painting. The other walls only have their scratch coat, but already the whole thing had a complete transformation.

I setup the scaffolding along the wall with the two windows (two bays to cover the length of the shed) as during the following weeks the slating of the roof will be done.

Although only the front gable is finished, Ben and Joel’s work have transformed it to the real thing. Coming Friday to Portree to visit Howdens and order a nice door for it.
