Self-builder - Roof Joists

As I previously mentioned we initially had a few problems with a groundworker. Well, due to the fact that he couldn't use a tape measure the shape of the extensions for the barn weren't quite the same as on the plans.

When it came to ordering services or materials, that required accurate measuring i.e. the block and beam floor and roof joists, we used a local company who would come out a check the measurements for us. We didn't feel that it was worth the risk in measuring off plan and we weren't absolutely certain where the measuremets needed to be taken from. It also meant that it was the company's responsibility if anything was wrong when the materials arrived.
