November 5: Hanging the Roof Trusses


 

This is Just Like My Erector Set!

It Only Took About Two Hours to Lift and Bolt the Roof Trusses in Place.
Pioneer Log Systems, down the street had a crane free this afternoon
so I hired the truck for a couple of hours.

Beg , Borrow, Steel

I couldn't do this myself, so some good folks let me borrow their workers...

Tim Hintz Came Over From Smithville Again

My colleague and friend, Graham Campbell is moving lumber today, so Tim could
come to work for me.

The Last Truss

I like the "Post Modern" look of this thing.
Maybe I'll leave it like this.

 

Truing The Trusses

Racing against darkness to get wind
bracing cables and a row of purlins
(the boards that span the trusses)
to solidify the structure. Craig on left
