Rafters on site



Weds 21 November 2012

The final wood delivery arrived today, great news, the last lap – in the wood frame part of the build, anyway.  Huge lorry, small space, tall trees – the guy in charge of the hoist was a bit stressed, and nearly helped our sun shadow problems by lopping the top off one of the cypress.  I was working in the shed, and Dave came running in and said, ‘they’re putting the roof beam up’; so we dashed out onto the decking just in time to see that the delivery hoist was being used to raise the 14 metre long, 20cm deep beam  into position.   Yiannis the woodworker was then left precariously holding it in position while Rap helped stabilise the rest of the delivery before he could go to Yiannis’ aid.
