The past week Structural FX finished the shear walls around the house and prepared the garage foundation for pouring the concrete slab. The slab turned out great.
Yesterday, right on schedule after the Holiday, the trusses arrived from Hopkins Truss company on a truck with a huge crane. I was surprised that it could be moved into the driveway area but clearly the fellow operating the crane was a real skilled pro. It was one of those cranes that has a long extending arm designed to lift the trusses off the truck and place them at various strategic points on top of the walls. They are then spread out by hand and nailed together with the cross pieces.
The framing crew is hard at work now placing the trusses and should be done by end of week, an amazingly fast 3 days to put the entire roof up. The windows should arrive Friday so the pressure is remains on! The electrical work will also start later this week.
