Truss off. I’m sick of you weasels.

A pretty good day. I didn’t feel at full speed but I managed to make some good progress today. I made a truss, fitted some purlons, and attached a truss. Maybe I completed the bracing between the other trusses too, but I can’t remember if that was today or earlier.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to finish the whole wooden component of the roof in about 2 hours tomorrow morning. Maybe then I’ll tack some of the iron on just to see what it looks like. Yeah, that would make sense, tack the iron on or rip it to length now. I need to buy some paper stuff to put under the iron, I’ll do that on a trip to Chch tomorrow evening.

I’m going to get a bit revolutionary and set some local time targets:

29 December - roof on
30 December – floor down (first night in shack?)
1 January – first bricks laid

Hmm. It is likely to take a day or 2 slower than that actually, there are some fun people around just now.

Nathan Jones stopped by today. Are you going to get a motorbike? Yeah.
