The east wall is lifted, guided and seated on steel pins.
Both east and west walls are up and braced; a summer beam flies in from the right.
Rex is at home in the living space.
It was an awesome sight on Wednesday as a crane lifted the timber walls. The results were thrilling for everyone involved. Careful calculations, cutting, shaping and pre-fitting of joints meant only two last-minute adjustments needed to be made as all the elements slipped into place, plumb and level as could be. First the east wall was lifted and temporarily braced, followed by the west wall. The summer beams were fitted, along with their knee braces, completing the structure by tying the girt walls together. Meanwhile, temporary braces were removed. An awesome sight indeed!
