Outbuildings: Week 18, Day 5

Outbuildings: Week 18, Day 5

Another very hot day, reaching 34 C by the end of the afternoon, so the build team started and finished an hour earlier than normal to give a bit more working time in the (relatively) cool morning.

More work on the roof structure, installing most of the ‘extensions’ to the roof trusses over the Garage Door arches.

Timber ‘extensions’ to carry the roof down over the bumped-out section of wall above the main garage (where the steel beams support the weight of the roof), neatly notched over the wall plate and the steel beam

Also more work on the gable walls at the north-east and north-west corners.

Gable wall at the north-east corner, finished apart from a few more courses on the height (once another ‘lift’ of scaffolding gets added) and two courses of headers to follow the line of the roof, bringing the bricks to the same level as the blocks
