Trusses


Moving trusses.
Utilizing the crane to move OSB sheeting. This weighs about one ton.
A crane was needed for lifting the trusses up and onto the roof.
Back of the garage and house door.


Framed garage.
Rane and I moved a couple by ourselves. Boy were they heavy!

Trusses delivered in large packages.

First wall of the garage.
Rane's parents, Dorothy and Will come into town to help for the day. Super duper cold day. We spent most it inside defrosting.
Fall leaves dispersed on the garden. Oooops, a strong wind came and blew it all away : (
