Roofing Joiners

On Tuesday 22 September the Roofing Joiners arrived from Amlwch - there had been quite a lot of faff over the joists which were supposed to be 175 x 50 however they couldn't get the long lengths 6 metres for the back side of the roof in 175 x 50, so we moved to 200x50 for the lot which meant that all of the insulation could go in between the rafters well 175mm of it at least with 37.5 insulated plasterboard on the inside.

Preparing the rafters

Setting out

Each rafter was birdsmouthed on the ridge and the wall plate- they were very accurate 

The yard side was easier as it was fairly square but the backside which was much longer took much more thinking power.

 The velux's all 5 of them have doubled up rafters.   

The two sides of the roof are at different angles, the ridge is still to be trimmed.

The gable ends are to be filled to support the gable ladders.
