Stands for ridge pole. The beginning of my roof, the first difficulties and their solutions.

As the quality of the first row of masonry depends on the rest of the series, and the roof begins with a ridge pole.

Originally planning the work ahead, all seemed more or less simple. But in reality, as usual, it was not so. And most of all "disturbances" I brought the work on installation racks for the ridge run.

design assembly.

It is the easiest thing that was here.

• I took two boards 150 at 50 mm, and connecting them through insertion of regrind of the same board.

• The result was a beam with an aperture of 100 mm, which will then be inserted into the ridge beam.

Installation.

This is where the fun began. When speculate about all standing on the ground below, the work in full swing... head. And when you stand at the top, and you begin to do things (especially as I am, for the first time), The arise, to put it mildly, the nuances.

1. To raise the beam.

Not on top of, and just raise vertically ...

Oh yes... I forgot to say, that, as always, we have worked together with my other half, so that the physical effort has been almost completely, only to me.

But using some emphasis is not difficult.

2. To expose and hold vertically.

Here really had to worry.

When you stand on the edge of the slab, thus keep the beam, and still thinking about that it does not fly away my assistant... At the same times it is compressed!

And you need to and do something rather than stand and blunt ...

❗ So the main thing - act deliberately, but quickly.

Raised, put on the level, and the last step:

3. Secure the jib.

Fixed in turn.

• First catch levels thereof and fixed plane.
• And then in the perpendicular.

Here I used a 2-meter board 10 by 50 mm. For temporary fasteners enough nails or screws, but it is better not to regret.

✅ And then the main thing to double-check. So I checked ...

Without alterations can not do.

I do not know how anyone, but I do at every stage of my building, had to fix something. Here and there ...

I do not know how I even noticed, looking up, but the one-hour I turned up the level of 150 mm.

✅ this mistake I made because of the fact that the place of installation of the beams was lower level compared to the other two, so it was necessary to take this into account. So I left out ...But nothing important notice, although all had to fill up again and redo.

But in the end, the goal is reached, and this is important.

But this is only the beginning, I would know how I'm going to mess around more... But more on that later.
