I love the 'Chirs 4 ___'! You seem to have natural skill for making cheap but quality buildings.

It is Chris 4 Peg, my wife.
Didn't think I should put a different girls name!

Wow, that is a very nice building Chris.
I think, judging by what most people say about their spouses, that you would be too scared to right anyone else's name

Fantastic! What a good idea! I will have to make a hut sometime myself...

Thanks for the nice comments.
If anyone else gives it a go watch out for the tin. I used several different tins, some cut ok, but others left very very sharp edges. I binned those ones as they slice your fingers very quickly!
I'm rather enjoying making things for little or no money. The hut from lineside delights is the only thing I have bought so far and I am very happy with it so I will be adding a cottage or two at some point. I still need to get the bits I have made into place around the track though before I do anything else.
Having a spot of bother with the track at the moment, so think I will have to put my attention back to that.

How did you corrogate the tin cans? I would like to do this with my new engine shed roof. Also a tin hut sounds a good idea too...

They were already corrugated. From memory they were from tinned pineapple.
It is getting a bit old now and is looking very rusty, but I still like it.

Let's have an up to date piccy then- I bet it looks fantastic now!
On the subject of corrugating cans, it can certainly be done- but I can't for the life of me remember how! Beer cans were used when I saw it done, as opposed to the pre- corrugated tin cans Chris has used here.
