As promised, here are this week's progress photos of the house. To quell the burning question, our intrepid truss delivery driver (Rick) AKA "Ice Road Trucker," did not deliver this latest load of trusses. Instead, Charlie, a most affable bloke with perfect driving skills made the delivery. Whereas Mr. IRT took the better part of 1-1/2 hours to get close enough for me to hook on with the 933 while driving a twin screw tractor, Charlie was able to back into the driveway and up the hill almost damn near where the trusses needed to be dropped driving a single screw truck and without digging up the gravel driveway. I hooked on with the 933 for the last 50 feet or so. This was accomplished within about 10 minutes. AMAZING! I will be requesting him for the next delivery.
We were able to land the trusses after sorting them on the ground and by last evening had all but a few raised into place. We finally seem to be making headway against what seems like an eternity of dealing with errant truss designs, poorly constructed panels that require rebuilds and modifications, TJI hangers that boggle the imagination as to how they work (and I've been doing this a long time) and weather that has been completely out of the ordinary, not that I'm complaining. The last few weeks, it has been amazingly warm. This week it was not so, but instead, it has been so dry and clear, the sky seems to sparkle. Anyhow, here are a few pictures of the week. Enjoy.
~EDIT~ Muz, the site won't let me upload pics again. Same error as before.
