I'd love to see how we do things differently end do things the same.<br /> In the end I mainly did it with my brother (although the bricklayer and his mate helped for the first few days and were great). It was good working with him on it and I'm sure if I went on a big site no one would question if he was a carpenter. He has the right attitude and a good set of tools as well as having worked with me enough and enough of his own jobs to be competent. <br />Never a fan of valleys but far better than hips. In truth I always moan about them but love the challenge. If it was all easy there would be no fun and I do still love this trade. A fun project in all really.

Called fink trusses or fan trusses depending which way the braces go. Designed to be as cheap as possible! This one will take some serious weight should it need to!

Wish I could have been there to lend a hand. The valleys seem daunting at first but they are a fun challenge to sort out. I fear these days I am short on strength and stamina to handle such a project.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081662385488791554.post-87545690282050570332018-11-04T04:06:17.711-08:002018-11-04T04:06:17.711-08:00I'm glad to see them planning to use the attic...I'm glad to see them planning to use the attic space. Over here, Those trusses are often built very light and that space is so full of braces that the space is unusable.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
