The next part is covering in llie shelter shed ; first 

 covering up the end AA, nailing niatchboarding over the 

 framing, leaving only the window spai e open (see End Ele- 

 vation sketch), covering it in from the top to lowest rail. 

 Next cover in with niatchboarding BR. so that the smooth 

 surface of boards faces fiight, and the projections of framing 

 are all to the inside, leavmg ■linco\'ered the open doorway 

 marked X on diagram No. 2. This leaves the front A to 

 B to be covered in. First you must get some lengths of 

 I in. square wood, and nail these all round the lower opening, 

 so that they form a rebate about onp inch deep ; cut 

 lengths of niatchboarding, fit and nail securely. All that 

 remains to be done here is to get some lengths of sashbar and 

 fix them in position, equi-distant from eacli other, ready to 

 receive the glass ; also fit one or two pieces into the window 

 opening of A. A. to complete. 



Now we come to the roof. If the exchequer will 

 run to it. first nail on matchboarding from A to C, then cover 

 this with roofing felt, and lastliy weather boards. Cut the 

 board", the required length, and commence to nail on from the 

 front ; keep the thick edge towards you, and allow each 

 board to overlap about ^in. 



There now only remains to fit in the door and com- 

 plete the net-work. Cut a length of one nich square wood, 

 4ft. long ^nd another 2ft. lin. long, and nail them together at 

 right angles, place it in position at back of netting to 

 the left of upright E (see front elevation sketch) ; staple 

 the netting thereto and nail the ends to upright and bottom 

 rail ; cut out the netting covering opening, make skeleton door to 

 lit the gap, cover it with netting and hinge in place. Next 

 cover in "with netting the space B. to C, carrying netting to 

 bottom of trench, also fit netting below bottom rail, A. to B.
