6th APRIL 2011 Despite having lots of odds
and
ends to
finish, I've started on the last bit - the
roof.
The old plywood is removed exposing the
old
frame. This is used
as a template to make
the new
frame. |
124.
The new frame is then modified to accept a
new
large roof
light (a Heki 2).
A trial
fitting and it's a perfect fit. |
125.
The frame is laid out and the remaining
timbers
are put into place. The position of the
lights
are changed so they are in the middle of
the
skylight side and upper cupboards. |
126.
Another trial fitting of the Heki 2.
You can
see the size difference from the old roof light
by comparing the light cut-outs in picture
123
(above). This
will really let the light in. |
127.
The frame is placed on the new internal roof
board
and glued (bonded). |
128.
Bricks are used to keep the pressure on
the
frame and the roof board until the glue
has
dried. Tomorrow the roof section is be
trial fitted to the Gipsy. |

8th APRIL 2011. With the roof board bonded
to the frame, the holes for the Heki and lights
are cut
out using a router. |
