Trusses are on!!!

It's starting to take shape!  Now that the trusses are on, there's a lot of bracing that needs to be done then the plywood and so on.  We're too excited!  It's a true relief just to see these trusses go on the house.  It's starting to look like a true house.

Truck has arrived, where do we want them?

Here is good, setting up the truck...

The wheels roll forward and the trusses start to slip off.

They are bending!  That's normal, they tell me.



How did they survive the drop?  Perfect!

Getting ready for the first truss to go up!!!

The workers showed up early!  I'm making note of that one!!



Setting up the crane and prepping the pile

Wedging the two sizes apart for the crane.

The crane measuring where it needs to reach

First of the trusses going into place!
Pretty exciting stuff.




Second truss being added. 



The main house is done, here comes the garage trusses.

Lunch time.  The fog has lifted, it's a sunny day but not too hot.  Going along very well.

The crane truck takes off for his next adventure



The small trusses for the craft room are set on top, no crane needed for them

Done!  Well, except all the bracing and stuff.

View from the front.  They look pretty straight to me!!!
