Ian and Perry began installing the purlins between the jack and hip rafters, a more difficult proposition because of the precise double compound cut needed to fit the hip end of the purlin to the hip.  To speed up the process they established a cutting station up on the ceiling joist work platform.  By 3 o’clock the temperature and humidity had sucked all the energy (and sense of fun) out of the two carpenters, so they called it quits.
