The Chalet That Wazzoks Built: Construction
http://chalet.knittage.com/2007/10/construction.html
The Chalet That Wazzoks Built. A brief foray into building a garden office - complete with help from baby and cat. Sunday, 7 October 2007. Piles of timber. Piles of unprotected timber. Piles of unprotected and untreated timber. Everything crossable in my body was crossed against rain. All set with our hammers, set squares and incredibly long nails, we set out the bearers. Of course, the slab was neither as level or as right angled as we had thought. Damn, damn, damn. I know it looks like a lot, but I'm a...

The Chalet That Wazzoks Built: With a little help from our friends

The Chalet That Wazzoks Built. A brief foray into building a garden office - complete with help from baby and cat. Monday, 8 October 2007. With a little help from our friends. When all is said and done, and usually lots is said and little is done, the boys and I had reached the point in the build where being under 6' tall was a disadvantage! And, in all honesty, all the fun part of the job was really finished for the day! Think about it for a minute, ok? Where the kids want. To help and take part! Get so...

The Chalet That Wazzoks Built: Tooling Up - An Interlude
http://chalet.knittage.com/2006/09/tooling-up-interlude.html
The Chalet That Wazzoks Built. A brief foray into building a garden office - complete with help from baby and cat. Wednesday, 6 September 2006. Tooling Up - An Interlude. My darling husband and I share a passion for power tools. We share other passions, but power tools is probably the most expensive one. It was getting to be less than funny. Then the chalet plans developed. And a work bench for gluing, clamping, painting, and so on. This is the future. This is a taster of the fabled garden office.

The Chalet That Wazzoks Built: Clearing up the slab
http://chalet.knittage.com/2006/09/clearing-up-slab.html
The Chalet That Wazzoks Built. A brief foray into building a garden office - complete with help from baby and cat. Friday, 8 September 2006. Clearing up the slab. To say we were thrilled when we returned to find the slab alive and well and rectangularly in our garden would be an understatement. We danced. We cavorted. We thought about baking it a cake. It had no flaws; it was the. And then we slept. Bright and early the next morning, down we went to say hi to slabster. Gulp! Perfection achieved once agai...

The Chalet That Wazzoks Built: You've Gotta Get A Quote or Three!
http://chalet.knittage.com/2006/09/youve-gotta-get-quote-or-three.html
The Chalet That Wazzoks Built. A brief foray into building a garden office - complete with help from baby and cat. Tuesday, 5 September 2006. You've Gotta Get A Quote or Three! So taking things in order, we needed a concrete base (and we had to decide what size chalet we wanted - apparently you can't just guess at these things). Simple enough, you'd think. Well, you'd be very wrong. My DIY build-it-and-weep tome offered some words of wisdom, "Don't do this yourself, moron! Hello, is that Mr Builder?

The Chalet That Wazzoks Built. A brief foray into building a garden office - complete with help from baby and cat. Sunday, 7 October 2007. Early in the Morning! We resisted. Oh, how we resisted! We cleaned the house, and didn't look out of the kitchen window. We changed the beds, and didn't look out of the windows. By 3.30 we were starting to foam at the mouth. Oh god, when could we start? To demonstrate how it all worked - well, didn't we? Of course we did! Approach, which so didn't work! Team Helly wer...

The Chalet That Wazzoks Built: Any real sense of order?
http://chalet.knittage.com/2007/10/any-real-sense-of-order.html
The Chalet That Wazzoks Built. A brief foray into building a garden office - complete with help from baby and cat. Sunday, 7 October 2007. Any real sense of order? Now where was I, children? The vast research we had undertaken at the beginning of this project had pinpointed two possible suppiers of log cabins on the interweb. Both seemed to be very reputable - no, no, of course people don't write their own feedback! That would be dishonest! He even waves and mugs for the camera! My kind of bear. Or so I ...
