Removed the bamboo rafters, left are 3 inch nails we used to attach the rafters to the wood beam. Without the rafters the patio roof is simply held up by itself, which is termed "flying concrete". We decided to just close the gap between the wood beam and the roof to make the connection more solid.
From a different angle, you could see the remaining 3 inch nails and the gap.
We placed 2 slats of bamboo to provide temporary backing for the cement.
This is our mini-beam on top of the wood beam.
Work continues on the removal of the remaining bamboo rafters. It is taking a while because it is not easy to saw off these solid bamboo. Our cutter blades keep on getting blunt quite often. At least there's much progress at the end of the day.
