Much gnashing of teeth

We've begun the cutting but my example blog glossed over much. Unhelpful!!

For our 5' high walls the longest slats are 6'6". We set back 2 1/2" then drilled holes every 9" this info was missing from the other blog.

 The woodpile

 sorted

 drew a rectangle on the ground as a template for the wall unit (Khana)

 cutting to length

 drilling holes

 laying the slats together

 hammering the nails flat

after the panel was assembled, the hammered in nails loosened, but still acted as a hinge, We see now how Rope is better suited to this job. as we were expanding and contracting the panel, two of the strips broke.

the panel also did NOT end up to the dimensions that my example blog said they would be, leading to Anger and Frustration!

at that point it was time to walk away.

Will attempt again at a later date.
