1st September 2010

Absolute disaster!!!  Hit my thumb twice with the hammer this morning! 

Finally managed to sort out the roof-line yesterday.  What had happened is that I had put in temporary plumb timbers to hold the ridge board then put in the rafters, securing them at the birds mouth.  Trouble was that one of the plumb timbers bent which was a nightmare to straighten up the ridge board and settle the rafters properly but it has been done (that took all of yesterday to sort that out).  I have machined all the rest of the noggins for the ceiling rafters and supporting timbers for the rafters.  I have put all the nail brackets onto the supporting timbers (hence my throbbing thumb) and have installed half of them.

Decided today I am going to have an early day and splint my thumb up with a frozen sausage.
