Trusses being delivered!

This was a big day. Our roof trusses were delivered. We had thought there was no way we could get the boom truck to drop the trusses on top of the roof deck. But with some interesting positioning and crane operator skill they were very successfull at unloading all the roof trusses up even through all the trees. Here are pics of the day:

notice truck has one support on 'shed' pad

Nailguns and Poker

Here are a few pictures from last weekend. Sorry for the late posting, but I've been so busy this week with the kids and the build. This was during Rigo's organized Nailguns n Poker day.

We had a bunch of us who could make it out participate  in doing the shear nailing schedules/screwing/hanger nailing. Was fun for me. Hope you all had a similar good time.

It was a very long weekend for me. Spent Fri/Sat/Sun on site helping to put up walls, haul lumber, and cleanup. You can finally see the shape and size of the house and get a feel of what kind of view you will have. Next up is interior walls, then roof trusses, windows/doors..
