Today I got the key elements of the softwood roof in place in this order:
- Ridge
- King rafters (these are the common rafters in the hips of the roof which attach directly to the ends of the ridge)
- The first and last common rafters of the front and rear elevations of the roof and finally
- The four hips
I then laid out the jack rafters and fitted the first three before rain stopped play.
I had the camera rolling while I did this…

Onwards and upwards.
