Carpentry done
I'll be ordering the roofing iron tomorrow. Woo hoo! Still a long way from the end but the building inspector came and passed the frame work so I have only the final inspection left and all that really entails is making sure the tank is conected to the gutter. Easy!
These photos were taken a week or so ago before the weather got bad again. The weather isn't set to improve but I might aswell have the iron waiting for the next good day.
The stuff on the front is bracing ply, it holds the frame rigid and acts like the diagonal steel bracing you can see on the right hand side of the image above. The intermediate board and rafters are called hyjoists. They're a manufactured timber beam made from ply. Very strong, very light and very straight! I went over size with them so I could fit R6 insulation in the ceiling.

The Studio Continues
Things are moving along. Tomorrow I think I'll order the rafters and battons etc. I'm a bit further on in construction than in this picture but basically things look pretty much the same (except that wall that's lying down is up).
What we're look at is my half of the studio and that far corner is where I intend to dig myself in and create my rats nest.
