What happens here

Workers are seen installing the roof purlins, which are horizontal wooden members that run perpendicular to the main roof beams. These purlins are placed on top of the cross beams and create the framework for the roof deck. The video shows workers maneuvering and securing these wooden strips onto the primary timber frame structure, carefully spacing and fastening them to form a stable base for the roof sheathing.
