Managers house roof/chimney.
The 3D printer had behaved itself for the 're-print' and we now had a lovely cast iron water tank.
The area where it will be installed was cut away to suit the tank.
Geoff moved on to the columns. He had a perfect length of brass 'I' beam that he was looking forward to using, but an image search of actual tank supports identified a different solution. Flat bottom rail spanning cast iron circular columns looked more in keeping, so he set about turning some brass columns. (The file is to shape the edge of the base top)
A fixture was made to hold the columns in place...
...while the code 100 rail was soldered across the top.
Especially with Atlantic standing in front of it.
The white foamboard represents the timber sleepers that will provide full support in due course.
Geoff and Stephen then researched the swinging arm unit they'd identified the previous week. Photos of the tank at Beddgelert station were scrutinised to work out how it all worked. Geoff will look into making the pipework and fittings in due course.
Stephen checked the cottage anchoring and was relieved to find that the epoxy glue hadn't spread, and the unit came away from the base nicely. He then released the clamps from the loading dock roof and put the building in place. He finished applying thin grey card to the dock itself and set it aside to dry. A small vertical gap on the side was also infilled. Smaller sliding doors than drawn were agreed together with a pedestrian door and some steps on the right.
The managers house had a 4-pot chimney stack prepared and glued in place, allowing the sub-roof sheet to be trimmed to size.
