Today, we went around with two tubs of short timber pieces, one full of simple 63mm CLS timber pieces and the other full of glued together T shaped timber pieces. We started at one end of the Skylight region up on the steel I-Beams and using our template to guide these short pieces so they end up against the plywood boards already up there. Each piece was glued, positioned where each rafter will be and also aligned vertically and then screwed onto the plywood.

We couldn’t quite do all of them as we are still waiting for the Chimney Support Arm to be ready and installed before we can finish off that particular section of the I-Beams, and also we got to go around each corner to put some more in to help bridge and join the two edges together at each corner too, plus at the point where the steel I-Beams changes from 100mm width to 160mm width.
