Today, we carried on with the creation of the rafters for the corners where wall J and K meets and again for walls K and L meet, all part of the extension where Bedroom 2 lies.
The usual construction is done, the webbing had their ends sliced with a 28.6degrees angles off them and cut-away notches removed at the other end. Then the LVL timber chopped with the same 28.6degrees angle too and the bird’s mouth notch cut as well.
The whole lot was sanded and then vacuumed before piling each layer into the template and applying the glue and then nails.
