Today, following from yesterday’s job of preparing for NO and OP rafters, we sanded and vacuumed these two rafters so it all came together and got glued and nailed tight shut!
Then after lunch, we tackled the third and final LVL special rafter for corner MN. This one is 413mm wide and 5420mm long on the bottom flange. All the bits and pieces were sliced and chopped at the required angle of 26.6degrees, clearance notches and noggings etc. The webbing and LVL timber were sanded and vacuumed as usual and then glued and nailed together.

We managed to do three rafters today, they are sitting there drying and will be ready for tomorrow when we hopefully can get all three outside and installed into position. That would be nice – grin!
