Lifting the Tie Beams

Lifting the tie beams

This June has been one of the wettest for many years which has meant that work has alternated between the garage and the shed site often two or three times in the same day. 

The four tie beams were cut to length fairly early on in June and I hoisted these into position ready to mark the mortices and rebates that need to be cut - one of these is now completed. 

End wall posts in place

Because of the uncertainty of the weather, rather than continue working on the tie beams, I started cutting the wall posts and transoms for one of the end frames. These are now finally in position. The next job (weather permitting) will be to mark and cut to shape the three remaining tie bars and begin work on the other end frame.
