Wildlife and the Roundhouse

Birds do not usually get so big around here, an Emu in Como.

Leaves

Just for a change here is a photo looking north from Como, the leaves are tuning.

Supports underneath

Old wood for new supports. The electrical cable is not original!, when we rewired the Hotel we made provision for a supply to the Depot.

External view of north extension.

Sun going down over a sunny day in South Park, the Roof is now as straight as it ever was.

Roof work

The north section shows the new and old wood, We now have a structurally solid framework for the re-roofing.

Paint

An interesting shot showing the few paint elements on the building. The light grey and mid green are the original colours, the dark green and red are from the 1920's when the Depot was painted in the Burlington scheme.

East Inside corner

East Side, North Extension

This photograph clearly shows the vertical gap and the need for vertical posts rather than horizontal beams.

Pad Supports for North Extension

The extension that forms part of the L extended over lower levels. The original wooden supports went into the groud. The part in contact with the dirt had rotted away over the 130 years. The wood is much better quality than can be obtained now so will be reused but this time onto a concrete pad support.

North West Corner Support

New timbers placed on gravel based as per the original. This will all be hidden by the siding, eventually.
