Another trip to the wood yard, and we have the pieces for the wood frame walls. The wood is cheap and unseasoned, and probably very ecologically unsound. I asked the architect whether it was possible to get FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) approved wood in Greece and he said he had asked, but they laughed at him. I said at least he could ask in a way that was understood, being Greek. He said that's why they laughed, because it was a Greek asking.
The wood turned out to be twisted and bowed, and Panos at the woodyard had been a bit lax with the cutting - some pieces are 1.5 cm shorter than others meant to be the same length. So we did our best, trimming some bits and chocking others, but it's not a work of millimetre precision.
It is, however, fast. We got the two sides done, and the front and back, and went back for more wood for the rafters, before being rained off on Wednesday morning.
