Well, the first time around they brought the roof trusses on a 45 foot tractor trailer and gave us all the time we needed to unload them. This time however, they delivered them on a flat bed and waited for us to move them off. Not saying that having all your air brake lines burned off had to do with it...BUT.
And what a load it was....I did notice that they had not put a red flag on the end of the trusses, but this is Tennessee after all.....
The entire roof system has a total of 11 elevations to it, and each are strapped together so we don't get confused....like that will stop us....:)
These trusses are 39 feet long and couldn't be build in one piece so we will be adding a small triangle looking thing on the top later....
I still find it interesting that something that wiggles around this much can actually hold up a roof with 36 inches of snow.....now we have only had 23 inches of snow back in 95 or 96 but I had it designed for 50% more then the biggest snow storm on record......
Down on the third floor the woodcravers are about to finish up as the chips fly....we had them hue everything and as soon as the roof is finished we will start to sand, stain and varish all this stuff.....to match the ceiling.
Down on the first floor, this beam will be placed just under the stairways.....this beam couldn't be lifted by 6 guys.....and has to be moved around using the bobcat. It's just over 16 feet and is 16 by 24 inches....don't ask about how much this baby cost......
Will it about time to start moving the trusses over and set them....that's tomorrow.
