All trussed up!

So excited about todays work that the pun just had to happen, and some bigger photos. Very relieved to have the two big trusses now secured in place with temporary diagonal bracing until the purlins and plywood are installed to give the required structural integrity. The hand-cranked forklift proved up to the job and everything appears to be the right size. South gable wall panels to fit tomorrow, before the lift goes back to the hire company - boo!

First truss installed, supported by the lift and the edge beams whilst bracing fixed

Second truss is manoeuvred into place, gently gently!

Taking form... more bracing added

Clamp-tastic, awaiting checking with measure and spirit level before finally screwing frames together.
