<\/a>And after being on the computer I went to hunt down some old demi-chevrons that I had lying around and made one of the sides of the greenhouse. This is how it will look, but with some diagonal sloping facings from back to front.<\/p>\nYou’ll see that it’s divided into a front and back section. The front sction is for a window and the rear will have a door in it.<\/p>\n
Building the four sides like this, fitting them together and then installing the windows is how I intend to do it, but if you imagine that instead of fitting windows I were to clad it with OSB and then put overlapping thin planks horizontally over the OSB, then that’s how you build a North American balloon-framed house. <\/p>\n
Once you master the technique you can build anything out of it. I started off by building the beichstuhl<\/em> as a balloon-frame and then graduated to building the verandah. After the greenhouse, I’m going to build a garden shed and then I might even graduate onto a double garage. You never know. Late this afternoon we had clouds – and this evening there was some rain. I thought at first that we might even have an amount of rain worth collecting but it didn’t last long. I’ve given up worrying about the rain anyway – things will just have to take care of themselves.<\/p>\n
