Afternoon, Folks! I am done! Temperatures rose sharply from a comfortable 14°C early in the morning to 30++°C right now. With the ra*n we had the last few days, it´s steaming outside. The predicted thunderstorm later in the evening won´t bring much of a refreshmentg, I am afraid. We keep the place dark and the windows closed most of the time, to avoid the temperature to build up inside. It is 24°C right now, and that´s already too much for me to feel comfortable. I wish we had A/C... Did more w*rk on the wharf buildings. I started out ripping a shett of that .8mm plywood into 6mm strips. I did not know that the little table saw I have can make such a terrific noise. After about 40 strips I stopped to keep the household peace. Cleaning up the mess I made followed - earned me a smile from SWMBO. When that was done. I started to put the planking on the frame - a tedious job in the roof section. As I stopped cutting 6mm strips, I coulkd not finish the planking - the rear wall is only about 15% done. Completing it will be on tomorrow´s agenda. I could not resist staining and weathering what I have completed. I am quite happy with the rsult of today´s sweat and toil, but see for yourself: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1090050_zpsdd6df59c.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1090052_zps5ff26758.jpg" alt=" " />  In case you wonder, why the big door opening seems to be in mid-air - there will be a small loading deck in front of it, so the height is the same as the box car doors...
