When I work on stuff like this, especially with Jon, I lose complete track of time. Don't tell Roo but I never even had lunch today.
We did a lot of laborious hidden stuff, but we did manage to get the main girder truss up.
It's actually two separate layers that get fastened together once they're up. This truss supports one end of the main trusses that span the high section of the building.
We used my special home made crane to get them up there, a device I'll show you when we put the others trusses up.
We also put a dent in the sheeting of the walls as you can see. Mind you only the easy part. It gets a whole lot harder once you have to start climbing ladders with a 4' by 8' sheet of plywood held between your teeth!
Tomorrow we hope to finish the sheeting with the exception of the gable ends (look it up if you care), and then maybe friday (weather permitting), starting on the trusses.
All goes well...touch wood :)
And while Jon and I slave away we are both content in the knowledge that Roo is getting her Izaiah time. I don't know what she does, but the child already has a big love on for her. Actually I take that back. I know exactly what she does. She just loves him really, really hard!
