Assembly


Assembling the upper floor and roof frame begins. Starting with the living room;  the arch between the columns supporting the roof beams and framing the picture window spans 2.5 metres. So far all the bits of the wooden puzzle fit together (touch wood ;-).
The ridge beam in the living room is 5.4 metres off the floor. The tractor crane lifts the timbers onto the roof and from there they are man
 handled into position across the scafold. Spring weather brings
 more fine days than  wet now, but I am looking forward to the roof going on.
