Re: saDgit's flat-faced pop-top

The other nice thing about the stucco pattern is that it has a relativ...

Re: saDgit's flat-faced pop-top

Major construction and assembly is still on hold for the time being (continuing dodgy weather and forthcoming family commitments) but progress has not entirely stopped. Spent a couple of hours this afternoon cutting the 'ribs' (twenty of them!) around which the curve of the roof panels will be forme...

Re: saDgit's flat-faced pop-top

Ideas have come from the depths of my twisted imagination and from trying out dozens of different layouts in Sketchup. That relatively large kitchen work area earns me some brownie points though!

Re: saDgit's flat-faced pop-top

Rain... I'm in the south of France for God's sake, it's not supposed to bloody rain! ... anyway, rain and the demands of life are getting in the way of progress on the build so I thought I'd offer up info on my proposed layout. Sketchup delivers the goods once again: https://s15.postimg.cc/6h5o3exu3...

Re: saDgit's flat-faced pop-top

Sorry guys, not a lot to report I'm afraid. We've been away for the last couple of weeks so the build has not moved much further on and I'm back just in time for an appointment for some gum surgery tomorrow (deep joy!) so may not get much done for the next few days either. I have received the jacks ...

Re: saDgit's flat-faced pop-top

Took me quite a while to get into it and I'm still a long, long way from being any kind of expert. Some examples of what experts can produce are truly staggering.

Re: What did you have before your current demountable?
