Saturday help

A group of men from a near by community spent a Saturday with us installing the exterior wall sheathing. He said this is the only shirt he owns, poor guy!

Setting the roof trusses

These trusses are 72 feet long plus the over hang on both ends makes the 75 feet long. Thank goodness they are 4 / 12 pitch, so they are only 13 feet high. If you just did the math and it didnt work out for you, well there is a 12 inch "energy heel" at each end, to allow for more insulation over the exterior walls.

Interior walls

The interior bearing walls are built and ready for the trusses. The rest of the interior walls will be set in place after the trusses are set.
