Chilly start but much better than heat. Started out placing the second last wall that I had cut slots into to fit around the trusses. The last little tapered wall will be inserted after the sheeting is up tp give access to the roof for the lumber. Our last large beam was finally placed and hopefully safe from any damage. Because we have decided to go with bat insulation instead of foam for the roof we are adding strapping for cross ventilation before the plywood.

While building and fitting the ladder truss to the east side of the house we discovered that the gable truss was about 2 inches short. This meant the addition of a 2x6 to the inside of the gable truss and up under the ladder truss. Maybe we won't have such a problem on the west side.

Finished the day with a small cross wall that intersects the garage wall when it is completed.
