Cladding the Workshop

By Sue15cat

Another delivery of working materials and another job in the process of being done.
When we got planning permission for the garage space and workshop part of the permission was that we wood clad the workshop to take away the industrial look of it, and to be honest I hate the blockwork so it would have had to be done anyway!!
It will look so much better when it looks like a building made of wood as you approach the house.

Lovely Hubby has finished the first stage, which was to put the battening on that will hold the top layer of work. 

It was fiddly and time consuming but I think he's made a brilliant job of it and to my mind the whole building is already starting to look just that little bit better.

Just the front and the right-hand side are being done.  This side gets the full force of the Winter winds and rains so it was imperative to take the cladding round the corner to protect the building as well as making it look better.

I think he's done a lovely neat job, and after a day off yesterday to join in with the 'ladies who lunch' he's back at it again today, soon I'll be called out to lend a hand as the lengths of wood being attached on top will need two people to keep them straight while they are being fixed in place, but for now while he is doing some tricky cutting out to get the bottom layer straight on the right-hand side I'm keeping out of the way.
