As Julie's parents are staying with us this weekend, it seemed a shame not to get started, so the sawing and fixing began. First we made 2 A-frames for either end, both with a cross-piece around 50cm from the bottom onto which the floor of the house would be fixed. We then worked out the length of the floor from the shiplap roof pieces which I'd had pre-cut by the timber yard at 110cm. Having made some cut-outs in the floor piece for the A-frames, we then joined the floor to the A-frames. The third A-frame (no bottom cross-piece) was then constructed "around" the floor so that the floor would have support in the centre.
Before starting to put the roof on, we used the now-assembled structure to mark out the pieces of plywood we would need for the end walls.
