10 May - Still the Roof


Minor problem resolved by Will 09:30. 

Base propped at front and re-levelled by late morning.

Nice showery day so much time spent erecting and taking down tarpaulins.
But got the roof frames screwed down by mid afternoon.  A tempory brace to hold out the side walls at the right width in the middle was a huge help - then everything seemed to fall into place. 

One side done with strings on the tarpaulins eased off so enough height could be gained to get my head and a battery drill in to do the hard work - tipping it down at the time.

Got about 1/3 of the roof lining done before the boss called time to cover everything up for the night. 
You can NEVER have too m,any G-clamps.
[Note from "the boss"  given the weather maybe we should have looked at the price of a rigid/scaffolding framed roof]

Now appreciating a pint of Doom.

  1. Please advise why you needed to prop the front of the base. Was it too flimsy?

    Thanks
