Roof and Joists in place



The frame got a little wet, as we were dodging showers, but not too bad.  You can see one of the very large glu lam beams at the top of the picture.  There are two of these supporting the roof, and they are extremely large and heavy!


Here you can see the crane lifting the roof trusses in place.  The crane was only on site for one day, and everything slotted into place as designed (Thankyou Neatwood Homes!)



Here Rob and Dave guide in place the roof trusses.

The font of the frame is starting to come together, and below is the large picture window that we have designed, that looks out over the front of the house.  It is around 2m high, so we hope it looks as good finished as it did on paper


Here you can see the internal timber frame, this is the area to the back of the house, with the staircase hold rail in the front of the picture



Finally the second floor is in place, and you can start to see things coming together... Neil (next door) is also starting on his build.
