Structural timber 5

This was one of the days that I was most excited about, the raising of the roof trusses.

 

Our joiners used our trusses as a template for constructing the gable end panels. 

 

The trusses then just went in one by one.

3 lengths of Kerto were spiked together to form our central ridge beam.

The middle section of the 1st floor is being hand cut on site by our joiners. Our children will have a room on each gable. The middle section on one side will consist of a cupboard and WC. The other side will be partly vaulted above the living room and this required a steel beam which was fitted by our joiners.

    That's a good idea to use the truss as a template for the gable frame. I came up with the same idea shortly after realising that my roof and my gables didn't quite match. Oh well, I'll get it right on the next one :)
