Portal Frame Removal, featuring Dave & Colin

Today, we removed the portal frame holding down the roof, in preparation for final blockwork:
Dave unbolting the frame from a purlin .....
..... then cutting off the bracket so the frame can be split
Colin temporarily supporting the end of a purlin
Rob splitting the frame
Meanwhile, Malcolm has been painting station signboards

How do we get a 20' beam through a 10' doorway?

Meanwhile, Angela continues record keeping
