This morning, we finally managed to get out there and get the big heavy O Ridge rafter installed!! We checked to how dry the rafter was and brushed off the dirt that has splashed on from all the rain we had!!
It was the usual case of moving the two towers into place and lifting this 130kg piece of structural roofing element up and swinging it along into place. We had to carve off a small chunk of wood at the steel I-Beam end of the rafter so it can avoid hitting the sticking out upper flange of the I-Beam but apart from that and being very tight indeed, it fitted quite well indeed!!

Now we can measure the final three special rafters and have them created, nothing complicated about them, just straight and we will get them done in quick time!
