In between rain showers, when the sun came out this morning, we got outside to firstly bring in six sheets of our 12mm plywood from our main stack (after these six sheets, we have 119 left). Then we got the final rafter installed right up in the far left back corner of the building (P2) and then went around the corner to do two of the O rafters (O9 and O8) before the rain came.

We retired back to the workshop to slice up the six sheet of the plywood, to make 18 webbing strips to complete the final set of the “K” rafters. These then were measured and sliced to length with their 45 degree angled ends and wall notches cut out of them. That concluded the preparation stage and we then had time to make six out of the ten we have got to do.
On Saturday, we will see what the weather is doing and either go outside to carry on installing more “O” rafters or carry on building the final four “K” rafters. We will see!!
