This should be a fairly simple task given that we know that the pieces already fit together. However, the sheer weight of the oak pieces plus the fact that this is now being done off scaffolding while it is raining, just makes the job a little more challenging.
However, by the close of play on Friday, two out of three of the trusses has been assembled. The third truss (the one in the kitchen) will be assembled on Monday morning.
You can see the oak pegs that secure the purlins in position. The tie beam for the kitchen truss is now in position, but the rest of the truss will be assembled on Monday.
The two oak trusses in the lounge in position. The ridge beam needs to be added to the top, but this is essentially now complete. Built using traditional techniques with no nails or screws holding it together.
