Until now we have been incredibly lucky with the weather- Friday might be grim but today worked out well, with heavy rain clearing before we arrived on site. We were welcomed, however, with a couple of surprise water features on site- one in the tarpaulin over the roof structure and the other a rather beautiful bowl lake trapped on the events shelter/site office...
Nick soldiered away with chainsaw and drill to give us 8 roof brackets.
Finally we could survey the real beam end locations, and we had a bit of a shock discovery- we'd adapted the beam ends too hastily and they were now too short. Fortunately engineer Steve Wickham was able to advise on a solution and as is sometimes the case, the end result is probably an improvement on the original plan.
So here is the plan for tomorrow....
