About Me

We are a small family run business located on the Powis Shropshire border. We have been building 'stuff' for over 20 years. Builds range from narrow boats to our family home. We can build great garden structures, including Shepherds huts, Showmans wagons and Caravans, that make great alternatives to the traditional shed. They can be an alternative office, a spare bedroom, an adult wendy house, a potting shed, a bird hide, an attractive addition to a campsite for the new glamping craze, an alternative workshop a home cinema, or even a roadside tea wagon. Will consider building anything really, so ask away! Email davestilthouse@googlemail.com Phone: 01588 620132

Railway Carriage outside panelling.


More detailing and panelling has been added to the outside of the Railway Carriage.


It seems that the ends are staying cream,



A second layer of relief has been added to the wooden strips. We've also put bolts into the runner to add more detail.


We are waiting on more materials to be able to get on with the outside now. A decorative connecting door will be added to the other end we think. 

We've also confirmed on the paint that will be going on the inside so we will be able to get onto that next week. 

Once the internal walls are painted the rest of the fitting out will speed along, if we have no more delays due to material shortages anyway.
