さて東屋造りの続き。

この年は雪が多くて大変だった。

There was much snow and it was serious in that year.

今年の2012 5月号『庭』という雑誌に僕が載りました。

I was in a Japanese landscape magazine called [NIWA] 2012 May issue this year. In this my article…

その中の記事でvancouverは雪が降らないと書いていたが、そんなこと書いていないのだけどなー、、。書くはず無いでしょ!見てこの写真!

Vancouver was writing in the article that it did not snow. No way! I did not write such a thing.
look at this!

また雪が降った。sonw again!

カナダで曲がりの梁を探すのは困難。垂木は一枚板でその間に竹を入れた。

It is difficult to look for the beam of a bend in Canada.
I put in the bamboo between the rafter.

釘は一切使用していません。No nail is used.

腰かけの背もたれに使う曲がり木を拾いに行く。

I went to find the bend tree used for the backrest of a seat.

この木がどうなるでしょう?

What is going to happen to this bend tree!

腰かけの背もたれ。The backrest of seat

こんな感じに施工中。

Here you go.

背もたれ。The bend tree becomes the backrest of seat

腰かけベンチも同時進行。ひび割れ防止にウォールナッツのチョウチョを入れてます。英訳だとそのままバタフライ!

I also work on a seat bench at the same time. Butterfly of walnuts is put into the prevention from a crack.

なぐり仕上げ。This is called Naguri finishing

格子を入れたり雨や雪の時は石張りも同時進行。スレート類は基本、大判で売っていて好きなサイズに割る。

A lattice is put in or stone-finishing is also synchronization at the time of rain or snow.
Slates are sold big pieces and it is divided into favorite size.

ペンシルベニア産ブルーストーンを使用。The blue stone from Pennsylvania is used.

本当は土塀や版築で仕上げたかったが時に-15°を超える事があるし冬は雨ばっかりで長持ちしないので断念。

I wanted to finish by a mud wall or rammetd earth wall but It may sometimes be exceeded -15° and it does not last long only with rain in winter, it gives up.

カナダのstuccoで壁は仕上げた。

The wall was finished by stucco of Canada.
