Today, in glorious sunshine, we proceeded to installed our fifteen new rafters we made on Tuesday and got them glued and nailed into place on the Front Porch to form the “C” roof section and completed the two side “B” and “D” sections of the roof too.

As you can see, all went quite well this time! Oh yes, we moved the scaffolding tower from inside the Porch before we put up the rafters .. as it would have been trapped! We moved the tower around the corner to the position where the Side Porch will be constructed.
And we transferred our scaffolding platform over from the tall tower to our shorter tower so we could have a platform to work from when we start constructing the framework for the Side Porch.
The rest of the afternoon was spent indoors creating a “cut-list” drawing so we can start on generating the framework pieces in the workshop tomorrow and Saturday.
