There are a hundred companies world wide using modern CNC saw and milling machines to reproduce thousand year old timber framing roofs with mortise and tenon joints with wood peg connections. Accurate records exist of the original original structure, replacement trusses could arrive in weeks, entire roof framing completed in a month and covered with tarps. This would stabilize the walls and reduce interior damage. The entire roof could be decked and waterproof in another month. All new timber could be fire proof, rot resistant and protected by fire walls and Halon or CO2 suppression. There is no excuse for further delay and decay. Here’s just one supplier of timber frames >
