    Best way to machine off one side of a large wood beam, in situ?

    The multi tool would be good for the ends. He is suggesting a recip saw for the centre... they are a bit agricultural but can thew thru wood and metal quickly. Basically a giant jigsaw blade. Wasnt that superseded by a chainsaw attachment for a strimmer? Far safer 🤥🤓🤕 On a more serious note...

    Vapour Barrier?

    If the roof is condensating in the corrugations, a vapour varrier wont stop it, but will help keep it from dripping on the floor, but it would travel to the edge of the vapour barrier and then come down. A better option would be to fill the voids in the corrugations or stick a thermal roof quilt...
