The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #190: Close and Closer
Number two post for this challenge as it was the original idea. I built this little cabin in the garden for my girls as a playhouse which went to a tools and my building odds and ends once they were too old to play in there anymore. A lot of the contents is now in my big shed so there are still some odds and ends plus the that’ll come in handy one day stuff.
So come on, get closer.
The walls used to be part of the Jackadgery Hall
When I helped build a new section onto the hall, the boards were just in a pile and they were going to burn them.
So I asked if I could have them and everyone said take them.
Not only did I use them for the walls on the cabin but also built a bookcase and part of a wall on another shed.

I do think they had fun. Pity I don’t think there were any photos of the inside. Before digital cameras 🙂

I think it’s in my bones as nearly all of the past men in the family knew how to hammer a nail or two 🙂

I like those crinkle cut nails… 🤣
It’s a great skill to have, and a wonderful one to inherit.
I used to love woodworking and metalworking.

I am hopeless working with metal. Much better banging away with a hammer. I have a box of those crinkle cut nails. Very handy 🙂 🙂

It would have been a shame to burn those boards. It looks like they still have good life in them still.

They are still strong after about 80 years of use
