Today, this morning, we finished off creating the last five rafters that makes up the “I” section of the roof, to add to the six we made yesterday. we also sliced the bevel ends on those six rafters so they are ready to go up when we get a window in the bad weather coming this weekend.
So after lunch, instead of going outside, we started organising the bits and pieces to make the next batch of rafters for the “E” section of the roof. We brought in 5 lengths of 63mm CLS timber and 6 lengths of the 89mm CLS plus also 22 plywood webbing strips, and finally a 2 trugs full of various noggings too!
We began preparing the CLS timber to put on the 32degrees ends, the bird’s mouth notches and cut them down to the required lengths.
Wall-E-Flanges-ready
We now have 9 bottom flanges and 10 top flanges all measured and ready for the next stage of manufacture after we have prepared the webbing plywood strips that we will do tomorrow.
