    Two things I would like to say the first is the blue dot would work best if all the all threads was exactly the same length also have you tried the nuts on the all thread because cutting the thread should really be done with a saw as getting nuts on after using angle grinder doesn’t always work.Try putting on the nut first before cutting

    I am optimistic so I think you can move in before Christmas. If the weather allows you the roof can be up pretty quick, and then the weather is much less of a disturbing factor for all the other work. Perhaps the house might not be completely ready by that time, but where there is a will there is a way. If the blue chalk does not work for whatever reason you can also make a paper template. Put a paper "washer" around each threaded rod, and then connect all the paper "washers" together with some more paper which you can simply tape together with some sticky tape. This will give you a very accurate template without measuring or much effort. Keep up the good spirit, and I am looking forward to the next episode.👍

      @@portugalitis This paper template technique without measuring works really great for many things. For example when you have to install drywall and when you have to cut out accurate holes for faucets or electrical switches or light fixtures and such. The same thing for installing floorboards, or tiles, and so on. It will save a lot of time and possible errors. And the nice thing about it is that you do not have to do all the work in situ. Meaning that you you do not have to move around the work piece, and that you can make the cuts in a much more comfortable position. It is not connecting the dots, but connecting the holes. 😀👍

Although Im assuming you will want the roof on before you do the floor to keep the worst of the weather off it (and you) The break has done you both the world of good, you seem much happier and far more relaxed.
