In the example you posted you'll notice there's actually considerably more cross-braces than on mine, so I'd say that plays into it perhaps?

The valuation came through all good, so was just final checks and approvals before the bank approves the loan, which I'm still waiting on. Otherwise will have to wait for signing mortgage docs until next Monday or Tuesday. Settlement is set for 21 days after finance approval, but subject to how long it takes old mate to get the council approval for the patio through. So best case I should take ownership towards the end of Feb. But we'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about fixed, but then I'm limited to only being able to pay back $10k extra a year and the offset account option is only 40% offset. I'm planning on making the most of my current FIFO wage and paying as much off as quickly as I can, so the flexibility the variable gives me at the moment is a better option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had planned for the horizontals (collar ties) to be quite high up. Apparently they need to be no higher than one third of the rafter rise, which looks to be exactly where your new ones are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
