Construction  | 
    
With the 
          main frame dismantled and the wall plates resting on the ground, the 
          roof can be constructed. Here we see the main trusses (principal rafters 
          and collars) being assembled onto the tie beams, with the purlins awaiting 
          fitting.  |
