God gave us a beautiful workday today. The rain yesterday must have brought in some cooler weather. It was cloudy and cool this morning, getting up into the low 80’s by the afternoon. After another wonderful devotional and prayer, we talked about our plans for the day, and the assignment for each person. The overall goal is to set all the trusses today.
We were the truss riggers. Our job was to attach the straps that secured the trusses to the front of the fork lift. The first one up is the North gable end, which we had worked on a few days ago. It’s very heavy, since it’s sheeted with OSB and assembled with fly rafters.
Here we go .. getting it off the pile.
… and guiding it to the opposite side of the house while missing the mailbox
…and lifting it in place.
Once the first one was up, the rest got easier. Joe had the important job of making sure they didn’t hit the porta potty… lol.
The team got into a groove…
After lunch, we installed the last few rafters and then the South gable end.
Ta da… we have a roof!
We even had WAND Channel 17 news come by and do some interviews!
After the build, we went to a Windsor Pub to enjoy their weekly Prime Rib special … yum! What a wonderful way to end a great day. God is good!
Raising the roof is like icing on the cake . The old say , having a roof over your head it means so much in this case, a big step towards the finish line.
Proud of Joe , protecting the “ honey bucket”, it takes skills and courage 😳😂🤣.
Happy you had good food and a break .
Yes, God is good and smiling down on you .
Be safe and blessings to all .
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
