Truss Day!


Arlene's son - Pat works for Spendards Building. On Friday afternoon he brought the boom truck up to set the trusses this weekend. Before the trusses could be set, he "flew" the one piece shower kits into both of the upstairs bathrooms. This was so much easier than trying to get it up the stairs. Saturday morning was slated for setting those huge trusses.



Once again- Casey was designated "monkey" as he climbed up and down the walls and trusses. There are three different trusses that were set 12" and 16" apart. The first 6 went in without a hitch, then "Murphy" aka Murphy's Law showed up....As you can see below these trusses are not the same size. They are supposed to be exactly the same pitch and size. After many phone calls (on Saturday when no one works)- we gave up trying to get any assistance.
