A 1950's steel framed building, previously a chicken shed, surveyed last week before being upgraded for further use. The roof frames were manufactured in three sections and then bolted. The gable frames had flat head chamferred bolts so they didn't clash with the cladding.

It was all in relatively good condition with only some small sections of delamination where the posts were embedded into the concrete base.

A building constructed in around 1800 with a principal rafter and purlins to each roof pitch. Unusually, the rafter sits onto a bearing plate in the stonework and is not connected to the floor beam. On top of that the rafter has failed at the purlin due to extent of notching and a knot causing additional weakness. The resulting thrust has pushed the stonework out slowly over the last 200 years as can be seen by the dog leg gutter in the final photograph.

Some brackets required to connect the timbers and then stitching to tie the stonework to the floor.
