This morning, we resumed our work on the O Ridge Rafter. The first part (the horizontal Ridge section) was vacuumed and then glued and nailed together. Then the second part (the 45 degrees angled section) was cut, sliced and adjusted for all the bits and pieces and after lunch, was sanded and vacuumed and again, glued and nailed together.

Having done that job nice and quick, we had time to take our other rafter, namely the one going into the LM corner, and take it outside to install it into position. The end results was a clean and neat job without fuss! Yippee!

Tomorrow, we will take out the two sections of the O Ridge and start assembling it with the metal elbow joint and the two metal strips on the top and bottom edges, hopefully the thunderstorm weather front will keep away as promised by the forecasters!! Smile!
