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.

I love it.
