Lovely. Is it a metal frame with cladding or all wood?

Mainly wood with steel framing around things like the roller doors. Beautiful place near Dungannon.

It's a prototype controller for one axis of a two axis stepper motor-driven tracking device. I'll get the bare pcbs made in China when I've slayed the gremlins.

Is that a rigid (portal frame) connection between the columns and the main roof beams? I've never seen anything like it before.

They're great for rats' nest prototyping like this job because you can clip on to stuff. Not so good for assembled boards when I'm scared of shorting things due to lack of space.

Another new timber frame house factory. Been involved in this one since the design stage and it's interesting seeing it take shape. Over 200,000 square feet and they're now realising it's too small.

Well, I've answered a few client queries so that sort-of counts as work...
This is Addo Elephant Park, near Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
It's fenced in and patrolled, so like Woburn Safari Park, but about twice the size of Anglesey.
We did a game drive with a ranger and about 20 other people, then after lunch we drove from top to bottom along (mostly) dirt roads.
There's nothing that takes abuse like a hire car, after all.
We saw Red Hartebeest, Kudu, quite possibly some Springboks, Eland (all antelopey things), Zebras, Buffalos, Warthogs, loads of different birds, and loads of elephants of varying sizes and degrees of babyness. The rhinos live in a bit you can't get to without 4WD and more driving skills than I possess. What we probably saw most of was dung beetles. They're protected, and very hard to get a photo of without getting out of the car, which is frowned upon and can result in getting eaten.
