Apologies in advance if I get the terminology wrong...
I just wanted to check that my loft was ready to have its struts and Purlin removed.
1. The steels are in....
2. New joists hung off steels + on load bearing wall in middle of house.
Both Checked and passed by BC. Got told "Good job, carry on call me back when the electrics are in".
3. Purlin wall has been built on top of the steel...Fired into top of steel + bolted to rafters with dog tooth washers.
4. Collar ties(?) bolted to rafters with dog tooth washers.
Have I missed anything? Or am I now ok to remove the 4 diagonal timbers (struts?) that go from the Purlin to the central load bearing wall?
And to remove the purlin itself?
