It's Monday morning and the fog was slow to burn off.
I was informed the trusses were set to arrive early, but due to the heavy dew overnight that was changed to the afternnoon.
So I disappeared until later....
Back to site I see a few more pipes are in place... And before the day was done the building inspector was by to take a peek.
But the excitement was this truck.
Those are trusses under that sheathing.
And before you start wondering... My camera is taking 'different' pictures today for some unknown reason. I think they have a matted artsy look. But what do I know.. it's a phone not a 35mm SLR
So let's see if the crane arm on this truck can reach my house.
... It is not the best truck. The best truck has not delivered my trusses.
The arm looks like it will workout.... Maybe we should back the truck up a bit more.
Let's see if we can drop the sheathing up there... Check out the wheel off the ground. Apparently that is not a concern as the extra legs stick out at the front of the deck and stabilize the truck.
Ready set go...
Up up up....
It looks like it may work...
The crane can't quite get things over the wall...so back to ground.
Here is where my phone/ camera battery went from 39% down to 12% with no warning?!
So I repositioned and plugged into the car.
Now about those trusses...and that crane....
Going...
Going...
Almost...
And the verdict is....
Looking good!
And we are down.
Add some stabilizing boards..
Would not want to see them topple over.
And then one by one the crew moved the trusses back on the house frame and attached them.
You can see the plum tree is almost ready to bloom...
So if my house moves... At least I have a flag on the back of it so no one runs into the roof!
Looking good.
The crew stayed about 1/2 hr late to finish up the job today.
Maybe my phone just needs a rest... I know I do. Watching all that work was exhausting.
