And in the afternoon, we finished off slicing all the remaining polystyrene sheets into 250mm wide by 38mm thick strips.

The 14 boards were sliced (using our hot-melt wire machine) into five chunks (four of them 250mm wide and the fifth 200mm – the left over) and then pushed all these into the machine flat with three wires to slice them into 38mm thick strips. We made a total of 210 strips. These are now ready for when we start creating all the regular rafters that builds up the main part of the roof structure.

We then moved them all outside to wait for use.
