Still waiting for the wall boards and roof timber to be delivered, so today I decided to try to make one of the three louvred vents which will be placed at each of the three gable ends. This is easier than you might think, but you do need an electric mitre saw, which makes life a lot easier.
The finished article with the trim attached, already stained (sorry about that - I'd painted it before realising I'd not taken a picture). The stain colour is, to put it bluntly, crap! And this was the colour we were going to use for the whole shed... not anymore! It was supposed to be golden brown but has come out as peachy orange, which won't be going anywhere near the shed! Time for a coat of a different colour!Apart from that I'm quite pleased with the vent itself, so I'll be making two more for the other gable ends. Update!
Of course if I'd let the thing dry properly it would have gone a nice golden brown... which it has done now, so all is well. Probably just as well as there's 25 litres of the stuff waiting to go on the shed!
