We began setting the roof trusses with the construction fork lift until we got on uneven ground and almost flipped it.  Then we decided to take a little break to regroup and replan... just happy no one got hurt, the only casualty was a broken rafter which we were able to get a replacement from Rudd with Push Hard Lumber.

So we hired a crane for a day to finish raising the roof.

The crane made everything feel much more safe but either way, working with tools up at the peak of the roof is no easy task.

Setting the kitchen roof.

After two full weeks of erecting the frame we finally secured the last piece.  We celebrated with chips, champagne, and doughnuts!

On our lunch break we watched two lizards dual over mating grounds.

Now you can go up stairs without a ladder!  The next step is getting the tongue and groove on the ceiling, then the insulated panels and finally the metal roof.  Then we can rest assured that the frame is dry and protected.
