Look at me! Look at me! We’re on the last leg of milling and cladding our rebuilt extension (cover boards not installed on the long side yet. I’ve always wanted to live in a packing case. We are putting a post and beam balcony on the gable end. Being a complete newbie I’m as excited as Liz Truss was when she became PM - is that a good sign?

Very nice.  What is the timber?

[Mr. Ed]

Mostly Leyland from four big trees that had been leaning on each other like drunken sailors - just at the site. They’ve travelled 100 metres down to my shed then 100 metres back again. And some Douglas but not so much of that. Also ours.

Great stuff. Very jealous of your homegrown cladding. How chunky were the leylandii? What m² did they cover?

[Mr. Ed]

I think this was the chunkiest. Probably no more than 45 cm diameter?

thanks. I’ve spent four grand to save three. My sort of economics!  And I forget what the metrage is - not least because I’ve run out and have to do some more !  This one is on the mill now )from a neighbour). I have to narrow this end off with a chainsaw - it’s too fat for my wee saw
