The last piece of the puzzle was the second principle rafter at the back of the house. The first thing to do was to place the post (I actually missed an "Iwo Jima" shot as three of the crew were raising this post).
The principle rafter was then slowly lowered into place, with particular care taken to align it properly with the frame. Again, it needed to align perfectly in five places, making this a tricky fit. Will then drove the golden spike, hammering in the collar tie into the post to make it a tight fit. A well deserved round of applause followed.Great work by a great crew. Very focussed and no one stood around. You could tell they've done this before.
