April 18, 2023: Raising the Roof Trusses

Using the new lift, it's time to put in place some more roof trusses.

A bundle of a half dozen is delivered to the top of the house.

 

It requires careful concentration at both ends.

The first block is nailed into place.

Then the truss has to be muscled in.

The process is repeated with each of the six trusses.

Each lines up with the preceding truss . . .

. . . and then is nailed into place.

By day's end, the trusses are in place.
