The frame almost finished

The frame is almost finished now, and would have been finished if not for a change of plans. Originally when ordering the timber we were going to leave the two north facing outer segments without purlins since the roof was not going to extend to the fascia, but when we started putting the purlins up I made the mistake of putting them up in the two northern outer segments and upon reflection decided it was good and to leave them. This change though meant that we were 5 x 6m lengths of timber short.

I made the decision to leave the 3.6m and 2.4m lengths out of the last 5 segments (the ones either side of the ring beam). I did this because I should be able to fit those lengths onto the trusty old ute and pick them up myself, saving on delivery charges.

Due to the weather the timber mill has been unable to get extra bits of the Coastal Grey Box for the last few months, but today I got a call to say that it is in and ready to be milled (yippee!). Which means that we should have the timber within the next week.
