The Wall Will Be Built!

How long can it take to build a timber partition wall? One that is only 16ft long, in a straight line, no curves, no fancy materials.

 

This one has taken me well over a week, which has become a little frustrating. The reason is partly due to the complex shape, and partly due to my design having changed significantly just before I started the wall. Having switched to a more open plan layout, the wall now has multiple different ceiling heights all tying into it which led to a lot of head scratching. I ended up knocking up a detailed model on Google Sketchup, whh was time well spent as before that I just couldn't visualise how to go about it.

 

With two doorways, a partial and a fully vaulted ceiling, the resulting edifice has 15 sides, and plenty of angles. Great to finally see the back of it. Fortunately I have had a little help with this one.

 

By contrast, the next partition, a simple rectangle with one door in it, took me a morning.
