Trussed me

Like I said today was truss day.  Our first task would be getting the trusses out of the forest where the have been sitting and up to the house.  We found that putting them on the deck of the truck and holding the far end with a chain on the boom did the trick.  We placed the end of the truss bundle on the wall and the day began.  Sliding each one over, standing it up and, after they were all there, moving them into position.

After the garage side was done we tackled the east side. 

All trusses up and Ross got to work bracing and fitting as well as eave cuts.  I went up to the garage roof to help set up the walls.

While all of this was going on Cath was clearing deadfall and debris on the north side of the property. Here are a couple of before and after shots of her work. Pretty nice job.  She was also the designated photographer and supervisor of the truss move.  Not to mention cook and cleaner.  We finished off the day with a dip in the pool and hot tub at the Hills.  More walls and possibly roof sheeting tomorrow.
