Legio IX HISP New Buidling Project

[Nemonius Agricola]

Some people have been asking "what building are we building" or what are the tiles for. I am pleased to show you the final result of making tiles and other items. The new PORTABLE building is going to be used with our forge. Yes I said PORTABLE. The building is small in size but it is all hand made and it works well.

It was the first time we had put it up and needed to work out some of the problems. Flat ground, how much mud to use instead of mortar etc... but in the end it worked out well. We have some minor re-tooling to do but in all it worked.

In the second picture I have been wanting to see if it really works and so when we were tearing it down I decided to grab a jug of water and pour some water down the tiles. I am very pleased with the results of what happened. Not a single drop of water and dripped down inside the roof area. I wish I would have done it with the imbrex on the roof but I remembered too late. And in that picture you can notice the smoke hole tile we made. If the days were not so windy we would have had more smoke going up through the holes. But we did get some smoke up there.

Hope you guys enjoy looking at the pictures.
