 The next lot of stringers ready to be placed


The 50mm stringers were scarfed and glued today and are ready to be placed, this operation was done inside the house as the workshop was being used to place the 30mm stringers. Also they were able to glue, without being disturbed, it is warmer and the cat could check them for quality.
