Krys' Garage




Things moved on a bit quicker this weekend, thanks mainly to £24 worth of wood for the roof trusses. Saturday afternoon saw us making up the remaining six trusses on top of the original one which we'd kept aside as a pattern. As they were made up, we lifted them into position. Once they were all in place, we worked out the spacing (33" centres) & cut the "rafters" to length, 60 in all are required... after a bit of hunting around we'eve almost got enough!
Sunday saw these cut to length & screwed in position, starting at the door end. Due to a change in roofing material, (we are now planning to use corrugated iron)  we will require fewer roof trusses, which will mean we will have to re-position the four we installed last year...
Sunday afternoon we were visited by a local phesant!
