Trusses are going up!

Well, since the last update the trusses are going up. The following pictures chronicle the process...

This is Ozzie, the framer's dog... He looks a bit big, but you should see him shimmy up onto the roof!

Here are the first set of trusses being hoisted into position by the delivery crane.

In this view, you can see some trusses above the family room and over the garage.

The garage trusses and gable end go up...

WOW! What a difference a day makes... This is after two days of truss-installation.

Ozzie is guarding the site, to keep away unwanted photographers :)

Now you can see that the covered patio is going to look great! And the tops of the trusses are missing, so this roof will be TALL!!!

When I got home from work, I was shocked to see that some of the sheeting had been done to the roof.

This whole side of the house is almost ready for sheeting...

Looking from the Master Bedroom to the opposite end of the house.

Rick, the head framer, leading some of the top trusses into position with the assistance of a crew member.

More top trusses being put into position by the crane.

Almost done! The full height of the roof is clear now. You can see that there will be several nice gables at the front and back, as well as the main roof at three different heights along the center of the house. In less than a week, it will be done... Stay tuned for more updates.
