I completed the most part of 3 trusses today. With a combination of gangs and regular nails, these things are strong, holding together nicely. But they are man ugly. I only realised late in the piece that some of them are going to be visible from inside the shack. I’ve just haphazardly cut the bracing pieces at whatever angles I please. They are like bad teeth. I do love bad teeth though.

I bought some more gangs and some cyclone straps at Mitre 10 in Rangers. Not my best shopping experience ever. So slow.

I’m on track for a 2.30 a.m. go to bed here today, after some very enjoyable cards. This means I’m likely to be out of action though for a couple of days. I think I can still have the roof on this week though.
