Week 9: More Frames and roof trusses (22 - 26 June)
Now in the second week of frames and by Wed 24th June our brilliant carpenters were back and we had roof trusses in place. They even brought their own scaffolds to frame the very high entry.
Loving the 25 degree pitch on the roof when many builders standard inclusion is 22.5 degrees. It makes the house feel more traditional and complete.
Sadly then the block stood still on Thurs and Friday while we waited for the next steps with the plumber doing a no show for rough in.
WEEK 9: The carpenters worked so hard, in the rain, but the 5-6 days to put up the frame stretched into 2.5 weeks due to rain slowing them down and the delayed delivery of roof trusses.
I happened to be passing by when the trusses were delivered and got to see this massive crane delivering entire pre-built roof frames to site. It was a rather shaky delivery with a span of about 13m on some trusses!
