Yet another new toy...

Timberframe house building involves using an incredible amount of nails. The first part of the roof (the pine boarding you see in the foreground) was done manually, with hammer and sweat, but meet our new friend the gas nailer !!
big orange tool, uses gas cartridges and a battery to create a spark, ignite the gas and fire a pin which can send a 90mm nail through an oak rafter in one go !
Nailing the plywood to the roof was SO MUCH FUN !
We'll also need to nail some ply on the walls, then all the battens on the roof, and so on, hence the investment...
