Not a typical Eaves Detail
The overhanging eaves on the South elevation of the farmshop (to be named Fodder) is extended and will be covered with glulam brize soleil to create a pedestrian walkway and dappled light into the shop

This is what I call timber framing. The Glulam rafters on the farmshop are 675mm deep!

New Fire Regulations
BONFIRE OF THE OLD FIRE REGULATIONS
Fire certificates became history this week as new fire safety law came into force from 1 October 2006. The legislation, which replaces over 70 pieces of legislation with a single reform, has been well signalled though many businesses will remain unaware of their responsibilities.
The key reform is that tasking of a ‘responsible person’ within each business premises to be accountable for fire safety, including checks on fire protection equipment and facilities.
Specific guidance documents, which can be purchased or freely downloaded, has been replaced for a whole range of business premises - such as residential care homes, factories, healthcare and educational facilities - and can be found at http://www.firesafetyguides.communities.gov.uk
Practice principals are also responsible for their own practice premises, of course, as employers. Your own procedures can be quickly put to the test by using the self-assessment routine at the new Fire Gateway website at http://www.fire.gov.uk
