tried to remember to take pix of the half completed trusses. so a few triangle thingies are pointing down. we had to carry them from the lawn and lift them up on the walls so they would hang upside down.


then we tipped them up using a long 2x4 and a ladder (needed a good 4 ft of space between each rafter - which meant the last few needed to be up before we nailed them - very very scary). big balancing act.


mark took the camera up on the ladder for the obscura point of view. i am NOT a fan of heights. i'm not looking forward to sheathing this thing. it was hard enough to heft the 4x8 sheets of osb on the front entrance, this has at least 30 times as many boards...


this is the boxed in front entrance. we were finally able to move the osb to the place where the door will actually be. so it looks like a big plywood box for the moment. but really, one should notice the TAR PAPER on the top of the roof. and the flashing. we had a rainstorm monday morning (yah. i guess that was today. my how time flies). the roof didn't leak like the waterfall we had last week...


we're contemplating leaving the "flagpole" the red flag is the menard's plastic thingie we stuck on so we could drive the 20 ft ridge board home (hanging 15 ft off the end of the explorer). scary ride home...
