Old Ford Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Fine job Tris , looking forward to seeing the roof done :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 The black boarding looks just like a farm i used to work on. The old buildings were and still are a spitting image of your granary (granary, not granny, I don't knwo what she looks like and I can't imagine you will post up a photo of her on here but if you want to then feel free mate) Anyway, i'm off to lick myself back in the garage now after that strange little turn, it must be the fumes after a weeks building.... :D :D P.S did I say that it looks great? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Here you can appreciate the size a little better, the two main sides of the roof are just perched there purely for the photo. I now have to line up the edges and masking tape it together, with strengthening beams inside (not proper trusses). The do the same with the ands, cutting these sheets to shape to fit the triangular ends in. Then the dorma bits above the doors. .. it just goes on and on!!!

Old Ford Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 He can do the lot for me!!! Cheers for compliments ya'all!! I can give you a hand mate if its a 40degree roof then the doormer should be around 50 degrees cut but lying back at 40 degrees too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I want the dorma roof's to be the same pitches as the main roof so all the ridges look parrelel. .. is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 if the door way is the same width as the main roof , at the same pitch then yes. if not then no if smaller it will be steeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks Gents :) Although. ... I do get to the point where I ask myself why I ever bothered starting such a complexed roof. ... you should see me now!!! Glue, plastruct, ply, masking tape, streight edges, paper. ... stanley knife, scissors, pencil. ... It's a right mess in here and still I havn't even completed one dorma yet!!
