The notes

rendered

Pick the straightest 47 × 47 lengths and check that each shiplap board sits flat. Store everything flat and dry for two days. Cut every piece from the cut list. Treated timber loses its protection where you cut it, so brush clear end-grain preserver onto every cut end. That’s not in the cost.
