Trusses Up (13/06/2011)

Today me and the team started to get the trusses up and fix them to the top plates. We ran string lines to line up the middle part of the truss to keep each truss equal.

    

     <---------string lines--------->

Spacing between each truss was determined by a piece of wood measured at the correct spacing of 845 mm inside both trusses after it was in place we hammered 100mm galvenized size nails to fix them to the top plates.

We also used temporary purlins to hold & keep together the trusses, by using scrap pieces of timber left unused.
