July 7th, The roof trusses arrive

This was a big day in the building process -- the arrival of the roof trusses. Here they are on the delivery truck. I know how much they loved coming all the way out here on our bad country road.



Now the trusses are being unloaded onto the ground. Note the two workers on our old roof.


This is the crane that was brought in to raise the trusses. It broke down on the way here, but somehow limped on into the yard. I heard it still couldn't be used because an air bag needed to be replaced for the hydraulics to work. They replaced it and it immediately blew out, to the tuner of $500 bucks. I guess they had to get another one.


I gues our workers were able to handle the smaller trusses manually because they installed this odd shaped one over the bathroom.

And this one over the mud room.
