how it came out

The L-shaped deck on its pads, the first braced panels and the tidy site came through.

prompt

Photorealistic photograph of a small self-build house site in the English Peak District, early in the build, where one person is building a timber frame house by hand.

Setting: a calm spring morning, soft light, a flat walled paddock in a Peak District valley, dry stone walls, sheep in the next field, gritstone edges beyond.

- A flat timber ground floor deck in an L-shape, about 9 by 5.4 metres with a 5.4 by 3.6 metre wing at one end, raised about 450 mm on short timber ground beams sitting on small concrete pads.
- The first few timber stud wall panels, about 1.2 metres wide, are standing along one edge, held with diagonal timber braces; more panels are laid out flat on the deck.
- A sturdy workbench on the deck with a mitre saw, a tool bag, a level and a box of screws.
- Neat stacks of timber under green tarpaulins, and a small lockable timber store shed by the gate.
- Profile boards and string lines still in place at the corners.

Style: realistic documentary photograph of a self-build site, natural colours, crisp detail, tidy and well organised. Avoid: big building company site, cranes, heavy machinery, people, text.
