Weather pretty crap today so really didn't spend much time on site at all. Main job was finishing off the roof edge protection from yesterday as it wasn't quite done by end of day.
Also went around nailing in 100x3.75's at 500mm spacings through the double plate and down into the top plate. This was done to show the inspector that we had used the correct fixings as the end of the nail pokes out of the bottom of the top plate and he is able to visibly see it has been fixed down without having to climb onto the frame to check.
Earlier on in the week, a small effort had been made to start running the ceiling battens, so a small amount of time today was spent on nailing them to the truss bottom chords that they run past, with 75's. This is quite difficult as you are working at a strange angle, as you are having to hammer up... and it puts strain on your neck because you are looking up all the time... definitely not my most favourite job!
Rest of the time not on site, was spent in the workshop on the roofing exercise we started a week or so back. We finally attached the gable end truss and started to cut to length the outriggers which was based on the length of the overhang (200mm), minus the thickness of the fly rafter. We also were cutting the vertical struts to support the gable end truss and the additional loads that will be placed on it from the verge construction
