A real step forward last night when, with a little help from our friends, we got the first joist up and the supporting back wall. The delight was that it all slotted perfectly into place, so our care with the measurements certainly paid off. But you never know, so that's a great relief. Imagine if we'd got that top angle wrong!
With this joist up, Mike can complete his building of the gable end and it will soon be time to put up the incredibly heavy double joists - which will be a crane job.
