Fitting the last end frame

Cutting the last mortice

All the roof frames are now virtually finished and the first end roof frame is now in place. I was expecting it to be rather difficult to lift and position the end frames as they have additional braces and therefore slightly heavier than the two internal frames. The roof frame was lifted on the outside of the building with the pulleys positioned so the frame hung over the tenons - some manoeuvring was required but the process worked well. 

There is a small amount of work to finish on the final end frame so hopefully it will not be too long before this is also in place (weather permitting).
