Andrew asked: > What are the bits of string for (Most noticeable in 62 and 63)?
They are how they set out the sizes of the partitions. All the room shapes etc are marked onto the floor. They then have to set the roof beams to match the floor layout. Then they get the verticals set and use string to delineate the edges, then they are able to measure sizes correctly so that the partitioning just slides into place. The partitions, the majority of which are really the walls of the bathroom, were already made and were being painted elsewhere while we were there. Some of the iroko roof beams are slotted so that the partitions, when dry, could be slid into place and secured. Roger
