Last week I finished painting the facade of the shop so this week I started building the box that will become the building itself, one room upstairs and an attic with a Mansard roof.
I am not very good at drawing blue prints so I usually start with a simple volume with 3 sides and add the windows on the side later and I haven't thought about how to do the roof yet!
Plywood is easing to get here in Thailand but they won't cut for you so I drove home with a huge panel at the back of may car and realized it would be difficult to cut it with my jigsaw so I built a table saw that works pretty well but I have to be very careful with my fingers!

I still can't get over the shop front, it's so beautiful. Excited to see it start coming together.

Hello AM, thanks for the compliments. You're doing a great job too and I love your choice of colours. I can see why you are an illustrator.
DeleteAbout electricity, I like the wires. in my opinion, they're much easier to use than copper tape which I find hard to hide. With a router, you can easily hide the wires. Well, that's just my opinion. Let's keep in touch.
Have a great weekend too
