Closing & Framing in the 4th Wall pt. 2
On the last page, we finished inclosing the bottom portion of the 4th wall with pallets. On this page we will be inclosing the top portion.
Let's get started.
To install a pallet on top of the first, we needed to slightly cut the 3 planks (on the pallet) that would butt up against the gusset mending boards.
Here we are cutting a bit off of the planks, to accommodate the gusset mending board.
It fit like a wooden glove.
The gap between the gusset mending board & the pallet planks can give you a hint of why we cut there.
Placing the next pallet was a breeze, no cutting needed.
It really looks like a wall now.
On the other side of the doorway we placed the 3rd top pallet, snug to the door this time.
Like the first, we needed to cut a few planks to accommodate the incroching gusset mending board.
The cut-off came next, and then the pallet work is done.
Here's what it looked like from the inside:
Now, the wall & door structure is complete!!

On the next page, we will be wind-proofing the 4th wall with 'roof membrane' / roofing tar paper.
