The roof trusses went up today! They started about 7:00 am and were done setting them in place by noon. Just in time, too - it started raining about an hour later. They may not be able to start laying the roof sheathing until tomorrow. It won't be long though until the house interior won't get wet when it rains - that will be nice!
The east end gable is ready to be lifted into place. Currently working on the west end gable, which will have a ten-foot header above the opening to the (nonexistent) hallway leading to the (nonexistent) room above the (nonexistent) garage.
We decided to try using Zip System panels. They require taping of the seams, but no Tyvek. The panels were as easy to install as could be expected with no scaffolding. There are a LOT of walls left to cover!
It's been nearly thirty-nine years, and ...
You're still the one that makes me laugh
Still the one that's my better half
We're still havin' fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one I want to take along
We're still having' fun, and you're still the one
We're probably the only ones old enough to remember the rest of the verses. (wink)
I added a couple Photoshop filters to this picture to give it a more painterly effect. I should try painting this in Corel Painter.
The color of this lily reminds me of how hot it was when I was taking this picture!
The west wall is now up. The big opening will be the hallway into the room over the garage. There will eventually be a window in each side of the west wall.
