Truss-tastic

My roof trusses are turning up next Friday! They have been quicker building them than I expected. There are 11 of them, all to be spaced at 600mm intervals between the two walls.

I can't believe that I have managed to get this far. When I got the place, I was wondering how much it would cost to get a builder in to finish it, but Im glad I've done it myself. I've saved myself quite a bit of cash, and I've learnt quite a lot in the process.

I now have to learn how to get the roof fitted, because I have absolutely *no idea* how its supposed to go on.

Once its on, all I have to do is:

1) Nail the tiles on etc
2) Get the doors and fit them
3) Do the guttering

Of course, once the garage is done, I will need to build a drive way, a garden wall with wrought iron gates and dsecide what to do with the area at the side of it.

Looks like 2007 will be busy too!

mark, my mate is quite handy, if you would like me to ask him if he will come and give you some pointers as to how to fix the roof on i will ask him, ......................of course it might mean us having to come and stay one night, and seeing as there is nothing on tele we might have to go to the pub.
