The work went well, and soon the stringing of the double walls were finished. I gave the string a coating of PVA Glue,and left it overnight. Later I was stuffing dry strips of kitchen paper down hard with a stick into the cavity. There was no need to use glue at this stage.
I tied string around the top sticks over the doorway,and pulled them in rather tight in order to make the entrance way
sort of a bit square.
The paper pushed the walls out into a nice sturdy shape.
Glue was added to the last topping paper and left to go tacky!
The sticks were then trimmed off, and more splodgy thick glue was added on top and fine shingle was heaped onto that and pressed down by hand.The stone topping finished it off rather nicely. Later when the glue has dried out hard I will tip off any loose stones. Always handy to have fine shingle in ones stash!
I raided Mrs B`s kitchen for the paper. It was sort of a Special Ops Moment, while she was upon the first dog walk of the day. Who dares Wins, kinda rings a bell.
This has been another learning curb for me. The next one I make I will infill the cavity with paper at certain heights as I am stringing the skewers.
Now I need to figure out the doorway,and roof. So I`ll get back to you guys later .
