Hanging right along...

Well, this past week we didn't accomplish much on the house during the week.  I think we were all feeling a little pooped, but Wednesday and Thursday we had stuff happening after work.  Friday we jumped back in with all hands on deck!  Pop, Tom, and I managed to get the last six trusses hanging, and what a great feeling to have them up.

 Looking up at the western wall...those last trusses took a little more maneuvering by hand to get them in place.

Saturday morning we got a little bit of a late start after a quick trip into town.  We worked all morning getting the trusses screwed down and ready for decking.

 Pop attaching a truss.

Thomas using a clamp to make sure the trusses are spaced properly before nailing down the decking.

Pop worked from the inside securing the first row of decking.


These guys are so strong and agile, balancing on the scaffolding and heaving up the decking.  I, on the other hand, nearly fell off.

Saturday we wrapped up with nearly the bottom row of decking up on the north side of the roof.  Sunday we planned to get up a couple more rows after church.
