Day 2 dawns on a magnificent BARN. (Without a roof or anything, but still.) It's definitely upgraded from a shed. A was skiving off to Bath today to meet friends, but we had Architect J at arriving at lunch time to inspect the goings on. He seemed okay with it, although some things weren't quite to plan... (It's, er, quite a bit taller than was intended)But it actually looks like a BARN. It has structure and everything. Little M and Artichect J put up the first roof truss, which really makes it look... barn-some. (I know no terminology at all - you'll have to look elsewhere for knowledge).

| Putting up the first truss |
 |
| ... and up... |
 |
| And it's up! |
Definitely looks barn-y!
The sheep still wanted to get in on the action.
 |
| Playing with the shingles... |
 |
| ... and on the wood... |
 |
| and asking for milk. Again. |
Here's another tea break. They're very necessary for builders. It's at least one cake and about three tea pots/cafeterias per break. The purpose of non-builders is purely to cater for builders. Sexism abound! (Although little M is bucking the trend - go little M!)
And E having a brief moment of glory on the roof - good for reading and posing until they needed the palette for real 'builder-y' things.
Nancy was very hungry, as per usual.
The sheep decided it was very hard work watching the shed being built: relaxing necessary.
From my untrained eye, building appears to involve a lot of pointing.
Lots of things going on, growing and looking more building like...

| That's a serious mallet. I think the mallet was called Jamie. |
 |
| I thought their screws were quite pretty. That's probably not allowed in builder-speak. |
 |
| I believe this is the flying monkey, although I'm not sure. There may have been a flying and non-flying monkey. Feel free to correct me, builders! |
 |
| They worked from dawn... |
 |
| ...till dusk. |
And look at it now!! All structure-full. Stay tuned for tomorrow, day 3.
