For the rafters I did one central and two skewed.

A couple skewed for the birdsmouth too?
Malc2098 wrote:Yes. I probably overdid them, but I used three each either side of the ridge and three each at the birdsmouth. But the ridge and rafters were meaty at 145 x 45mm.
My mate today said there's no way mine will ever fall down!

It's the structural implications of the ridge/rafter joint that I'm concerned about, not how it looks!
However, thank you guys Your comments make me feel more confident about continuing as it is and making the best fit I can with the ridge.

I like to see the timber framework. It was sort of sad after mine all got covered up by sheathing inside and cladding and roofing outside. But I know it's there!

Cheers Malc! Your building looks great, it really does! So not seeing the frame isn't such a bad thing!
