Constructing the House Part 2

The sun finally came out which lifted spirits after so many days with frozen fingers.

Bringing up the rafters and collar ties for the roof.

We spent a day and a half to build the 15 roof trusses.

There are not many things more satisfying than standing back and looking at a days worth of work that hopefully will last for generations!

The overhang.

Putting the last top plate on, almost ready for the roof!

The first truss took all morning to get set and braced off just right.    These things are very heavy and very high up!

So here we are two weeks in, we hope to complete the frame tomorrow if all goes well.  See you next time!!
