Happy nailer (no pun)

Nailing the tong and groove boarding onto the oak rafters.
I previously primed it and applied 2 coats of varnish, so they are already finished and ready to lay !
3 advantages to painting them first-hand :
- it's obviously much easier to paint them at waist level than when they are on the ceiling
- you don't have to be careful to not put any paint on the rafters
- If we did do the above two points, when the rafters shrink (as they do when they dry, a couple of mm in 2 years), they would have revealed whole strips of unpainted boards
