Suggestion for corners and any internal walls

Sleepers will probably be waterproof already but a coat of old engine oil
and cresote mix would'nt go amiss

Nice big mastic joint between each sleeper and joints and all tosh nailed
together from inside

thanks, will the engine oil or cresote smell permenantly or just while it drys, and what are tosh nails..
do you have a program for drawings like that. i could do with a good program to design work projects for customers.
thanks

Tosh nailed

Any type of nail just toshed in at an angle

The sleepers are going to stink anyway, but after a good summer (ha ha) they should be fine

The program l use mostly is "Draw" in MS Works
