The hog out the back has disappeared since my video. Hopefully she will be haveing her first lot of hogletts.

The one that's starting to visit out the front is a new one to me.

Does any know how to tell a male hog from a female hog?

Hi, not much work done today, i treated the fitted loglap with one coat of linseed oil, managed to get some 4x2 timber ordered for the roof and floor that should be with me tomorrow, and ive managed to eBay another door for £20 :),

I need to wait in to take delivery of the timber but if it turns up early i will pop and pick the door up, i am running a bit behind my schedule but i have lots to get on with now, my main priority will be making the roof trusses and getting the roof on, lucky the window panels match the other for shape, a added bonus :)

Hi, the weathers been a bit hit/miss today, so I decided to fit the new window in the shed/summerhouse extension. I am hoping to get the roof fitted in the next few days, at least then I can do work inside when the weather is rubbish.

I will continue with the loglap inside the GH round the new window, they will be plenty of window cleaning to do:eek:.

Hi my pal popped round with his stihl saw today and cut me the front wall, I knocked one side of it down, the other side is cut and just needs a few knocks and it will be down too.

Great stuff! I especially like the shameless shots of your dishes. What do you think this is? A satellite dish forum or something....?

:D

Well the 1.8 will have to go up as soon as the SH is finished Alex, I am sure my wife will evict it :), plenty of satellite stuff to come then, happy days :), a little more done after tea, a few more rafters finished two installed and I knocked most of the other part of the shed wall down this morning.

A late start on this today due to the weather being rubbish, but I got cracked on after tea, made rest of the trusses up and installed most of them, hopefully finish them tomorrow and start sheeting up.

I cant believe how big it is :-doh:eek::-lol

Looks like the 1.2 dish might have to move.

Its very tight Chris, I will be putting a run of wood the long way across the trusses, for a few reasons, if I put it on its edge I think it will have to move. when I put it there I thought it would be out of the way, but I wanted more of a slope to the roof than first thought, I will have a better look at it tomorrow :)
