Finally the big day came with the arrival of the trusses and the instal day for them. A boom truck was hired and I managed to get a crew of guys in from work to help with getting them all installed. 26 trusses to go up. We started at 0800 and by 1530 the last truss was up and by 1900 the last of the strapping and bracing had gone on. For the next month I worked away on getting all the plywood sheeting down on the second floor, more bracing and all the wall sheeting and tyvek on the exterior walls.
