  Framing

This is one of the most exciting moments in the project as the frames go up quickly and it looks like everything is happening. Bear in mind, however, that not much seems to change rapidly from here even though plenty of work continues on.

  • Are the nogs level with each other?
  • Are the uprights evenly spaced (note there will be some variation due to doors and windows)?
  • Is the timber sufficiently dry?
  • Is the timber of the correct preservative treatment?
  • Are the doors and windows correctly positioned and of correct sizes?
  • Are the bracing elements in place?
