Cladding . . .

Cladding on the main outside wall has been completed and I am really happy with the outcome thus far.
The different colored color bond sheets adds interest.
A 400x4800mm sheet needs to be added to the opposite wall.

Cladding

After much deliberation between secondhand and new materials for the  cladding, new zincalum won.
Progress wasn't as much as I'd hoped but what has been done looks fantastic.

French Doors

Doors are now both hung �� however door hardware still to come

Door Frames and Hanging

It was time to fit the secondhand doors that I purchased months ago. Before they could be fitted the door jambs had to be measured a made.

 

 

The tiny house is coming together well and it is approaching "lock up" status.

 

 

One of the two French doors was hung, the one that doesn't move as frequently as the other. The hinges on the other door, the one that moves the most, need replacing so unfortunately it wont be today.

Experimenting with Cladding

Mismatched and short lengths of zincalume that I had on hand were temporarily screwed to the frame in order to help decide on cladding material.

I like the horizontal orientation and am torn on whether to use second hand material or buy new. . . .

Lining Eves

The eve was lined with match board which his tongue and grooved. 

As I dont want paint to drip on the wall cladding, too the time to prime the barge board, eve and the ends of the rafters.

Completed the Roof

Its been so long between activity on the tiny house.

I injured my finger quite severely at work and required surgery. The end result being no activity on the build until now.

Placed the last section of insulation and roofing iron.

Not that the fascia board was cut extra long and will be trimmed to length at a later date.
