To stop the gables spreading, we have these stylish bars across the west end and front gable. Here's the detail of how they are fixed at the ends - and during the week we've been amused to compare our oakwork with that of (sister) Nikki and Brian - they're re-roofing their house which was built around 1500 and is built the same way... Will ours still be here in 500 years? Meanwhile the walls upstairs are now filled with acoustic insulation and yesterday afternoon the plasterboard all arrived - they're apparently working over the weekend so we expect a dramatic change over the next couple of days....
