Today we are going to lift the entire roof section with a crane and install the legs. This is a tricky operation. The frame has been braced with additional timbers and ropes. The legs are bolted on to the roof and fixed to the ground beam.
If this went wrong I was going to end up with a large pile of firewood.
Initially the structure is very unstable and needs the crane to provide support while the braces are added.
We were fortunate to have a calm sunny day. Fosdyke is very windy so I had to watch the forecast to get the right day.
Fortunately by the end of the day I had the basic structure in place and some of the wall panels installed to provide stability.
