We started the day off, in the morning sunshine, by installing the rest of the “O” Rafters (six of them) and doing the first three of the “N” rafters before we stopped for lunch.

We had to some servicing work on our septic processing unit after lunch which took a couple of hours and then we carried on in the workshop to complete the final four “K” Rafters to complete all twelve of those.

This completes the construction of the 172 composite rafters which make of the major parts of the roof.
The next job, on Monday, is to install the remaining five “N” rafters up into the roof (weather permitting) and then cut the angled bevel ends on all the “K” rafters before we install them over Monday and Tuesday.
