This morning, we hauled the six rafters we completed yesterday outside, ready to be installed later on making room in our workshop, in order to complete off the two full sized rafters left over from the batch of eight we had to do.
So after lunch, under a threatening sky of possible rain, we proceeded to hoist up and install the six rafters starting at the M6 point (at the corner of the L wall and M wall) and went towards the Great Room. All six went up without much difficulty and all before the threat of rain which actually never arrived after all!! But, despite that, we didn’t want to risk our two recently created rafters we did this morning, just in case it did actually rain and weakened the glue joints while it was still curing and drying.
So tomorrow, we will put up those two rafters and carry on with the job of measuring the two triangular fill-in areas on either sides of the eight rafters and retire back to the workshop to make a start on building those rafters of varying sizes for this “M” and also for the “E” and “I” sections of the roof too.
