Let's set those trusses...TODAY....OK



So the day finally came when they started to set the final set to trusses.....


Even Tino was ready to set trusses......and the guide rope was attached on the right end of the trusses to move them.


We had taken a piece of rebar and bent it so all they had to do was hook the truss and away it goes.....


The weather even gave us a break, since there wasn't any wind to twist and bend the trusses.....so here we go.....lift...lift..


38 feet long and about 80 feet in the air....what a great sight indeed.


With one guy giving hand signals to the crane operator....down she came into place.


On each one of the walls someone was sitting waiting for the first one to come, now it's only about 30 feet to the nearest deck, but these guys like to walk on about a 4 inch wide wall and have no problem with this.....


Someone also had to be in the middle to release the rebar hook and brace the truss against the great room roof.


By lunch time, they had almost the half of the left side in place......LUNCH...did someone say LUNCH.....
