The most important work which has been happening over the last few weeks is the cutting and fitting of extra ribs. Not wanting to take out any of the current ribs, Mike decided to add new ones next to the existing ones and once they are fixed in place they will also be attached by tape and epoxy resin to give added strength. The circular saw was used at first to cut them ...
but the coarseness of the blade was too severe and as a finer one was mega expensive Mike has cut them all by hand ...
The cabin is now complete and as the rove set has now arrived it will be full steam ahead with the copper nails and roves.
We had a problem with the sides of Crocus moving outwards and the doors not meeting so an extra wide rib has been fitted just inside the cabin ...
Once completely secured then the bottlescrew and wire can be removed and hopefully this problem will not occur again.
