How we built a new roof in four days

  1. Monday

    We took down the old roof. Some of the beams were rotten in places, as the owners suspected.

  2. Tuesday

    The cut frame arrived from the workshop. By evening the rafters on the south side were up.

  3. Wednesday and Thursday

    The other side, collar ties and battens. It rained on Friday morning, but by then it was all covered.
