Jeff, from Haldane Fisher, Garstang did his best, his very best, but.... He got the beam to within a meter of it's seating , but just couldn't manage the last bit. Know the feeling? Me too. ( @Onoff, shut up) So there it rests for the night, a meter or so from it's sweet spot. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Here's the twist. "If ya 'adn'ta put that stoopid scaffold in't way lad, that'd a got it reet. " Said the HIAB driver. That'll teach me to prepare for the worst and put a scaffold up just in case we couldn't find a handy crane. Just exactly where Jeff didn't want me to put it. Foxtrot. Hats off to you Jeff, from Haldane Fisher! You did your best

Tanners (our SE) have specified two glulam beams for our ridge; 140 by 270 in 5 laminations using C24. One is about 4 meters long and the other 6 meters. I have asked around and nobody does exactly that specification (or at least I haven't found anyone who does yet) in terms of either length or wood specification. Here's what one manufacturer came back with (we have had similar stories from other manufacturers) 90 X 300mm PEFC GL32c Glulam Beam. What does PEFC and GL32c mean? Is 90 by 300 an equivalent to 140 by 270 In addition they have also quoted us for an 8 meter beam and a 12 meter beam. What's the story with Glulam beams? Why can't I get exactly what the SE specifies? -
Our Glulam needs to be joined to our steels using this plate. The Glulam needs a slot cutting in it and holes for the bolts, therefore. The plate is 8mm wide. Do the slot and the holes have to be made in the factory, or can I drill and cut the slot myself?

Our 7 meter Glulam is only some 160 kilos in weight. The original plan was to get a crane and pop it in that way. But 160 kilos, I mean .... 160... that's just a bit heavier than me after I have had a serious curry. So, thinking about a telehandler or pulleys or something. Thinking Out Of The Box anyway. Yes, I know, thinking's dangerous. But 160 kilos for Gods sake. 'S nowt.
