Click on the image for full screen

Recently we delivered another off grid Hot tub and Sauna Shepherd's hut. 

The lights are run off of a 12v battery charged with a solar panel, while both the hot tub and the sauna are heated by wood fires. 

The roof also incorporates a glass panel above the hot tub. 

The Shepherd's hut is sat on a recently landscaped area which will look wonderful once the ground cover has regrown.

The Shepherds hut has a double opening door, 4 opening windows, beds at each end and a wood burning stove. Lights and USB- Double Sockets are all on 230v mains.

We think they did made a great area around the Shepherds Hut. 

The strip planked boat continues (A steam launch design)

 February's update:

more pieces of Sapele were added to the sides of the boat to build up what will become the finished gunwale. 

Things have a habit of being put inside the boat when there is 'nowhere else' for them,

Then the decks are fitted with a piece of marine plywood which will form part of the finished deck. 

Strips of cedar will be added to this to make this stronger and add to the finished shape of the boat.

 January

All of the ribs were fitted end of November and into December. Then the ribs were cut back to accommodate added strengthening pieces (the inwales) and then the outwales were added too. These and the top piece that is yet to be fitted make up the gunwales. 

Then the decks start to take shape and we are fast approaching the stage where we really need to pick what will power it.

Another strip plank Boat update. (A Steam Launch design)

The boat was turned over sometime between July and November. A lot of things were done and few photos were taken,

before being trimmed to the final shape.

Epoxy and fiberglass matting was used on the inside after a lot of sanding. the edges were trimmed to get the right shape where required and then strips of Sapele were made. 

Then we have November:

Ribs of Sapele being fitted.

The ribs are left to rest before being glued and fixed in.

The other side will done the same way before the next stage of fitting out. Eventually we have to decide what will power the launch as this changes how the later stage of the fit out goes.

Railway Carriage Delivery

The Railway carriage based hut is ready for delivery. 

We had to wait for the ground around where the carriage was going to be prepared and then for it to dry out.

We enlisted the help of a local tractor to help get it into the final place (no pictures of this)

The ground around the site will recover quickly.

This Railway Carriage hut is for the customer's own use as a place to spend a couple of nights up in the field. And as just a warm place to go when tending to their horses. 

The first one we did will, hopefully, be available to stay in 2021.

An August Site Build - Bluebell The Shepherds hut

 Earlier this month we were hosted by Lavender and Lovage while building their Shepherd's Hut: Bluebell in their garden. 

What follows is mostly photos of the various stages of the build. 

Day zero:

A loaded, ready to go trailer with a rolling chassis, the roof sheets and the first layer of cedar painted ready in 'sweet blueberry'. 


Day one on site:

In the background you can see the low carport which is the main reason that this Shepherd's hut needed to be constructed on site. 

This is around the middle of day one, the rolling chassis was brought through to the garden, then the walls were put up, roof trusses set and once then corners were set with the first couple of boards. We are ready to put on the roof sheets while also putting up the first layer of cedar boards. 

The windows are in at this point, door frame is ready and the stable door was then fitted before the end of day 1. The idea is to get the Shepherd's hut watertight as soon as possible. 

Day two on site:

The second layer of boards went up during our second day on site. The window trims, and other details are also being fitted. As you can see the last of the pre painted boards ran out, and we were dodging the wet and windy weather so painting had to be halted.

Inside was mostly clad by the end of play on day 2. The engineered wood floor is almost finished. First fix wiring was also in. 

Looking like a Shepherd's hut now. Still some trim and lots of finishing off inside to do.

Day Three:

Day three was busy. So busy that we're pretty sure we forgot to take pictures. These are two that we were sent from our host: Lavender and Lovage

Day Four on site:
a couple of days later we returned to finish off. 

Shutters were added.

The kitchenette was put in. 

it has a small on demand water heater, and is fed from the mains water outside. 

A small drawer for utensils, and an oak draining board /flip/ chopping board 

The bed is in a small alcove and is hinged so that access underneath is easy if required. It can also be lifted up at the back to use as a sofa once the mattresses are in. 

Closed shutters ready for another storm. 

 A small alcove around the bed area, shelves, decorative hearts and all of the electrics are done. 

It is now up to Lavender and Lovage to paint the inside of Bluebell exactly how they want and add their own finishing touches.
