Today,we took outside the completed three rafters, these being the E6 and E7 as well as I6. It was the usual case of using our winch motor to lift them up, do a test fit, make any last minute adjustments and then glue and nail the rafter into place.

Then we proceeded to take further measurements to get the distances for the “in-fill” sections on either side of the rafters (as they are the only full length rafters in these walls), the minimum and maximum lengths. We took down 2 pairs of measurements for the “E” section and another 2 pairs of measurement for the “I” section. All this then got entered into our spreadsheet which will calculate the lengths of all the remaining rafters needed to fill in these triangular areas of the roof.
But the next step on Monday is to complete the eight rafters for the “M” section and then get them installed, hopefully, on Tuesday.
