The walls were fabricated on the ground making it easier to ensure that they were perfectly square. 2x2 used for the wall frames should be strong and light enough for what we want.
6mm external grade ply used for the walls. No requirement for anything heavier than this!
Rab stops by to run an engineers eye over the whole thing. I hope DFR is not a term he uses everyday when he is in work. (Rab works in the aerospace industry and DFR stands for Do Fucking Rightly!)
Front balcony section in place. Handrail height set to 1m which should be sufficient to stop anyone falling out. Bringing along Tom to the builders merchants to get discount on materials proved a good idea. There were a couple of lengths of handrail that were less favourable for the majority of peoples jobs but when Tom asked could he get special discount for the tree house the supplier couldn't say no!
Bunter not doing as he is told!
The side walls also include a balcony section
The walls are bolted to the uprights that were put in place during the previous phase
After the third wall was installed the trap door had to be cut prior to the fourth wall being bolted into place.
