Day 30 - Spreading out the trusses

That's me standing on the beam and that's my dad inside stabilizing the trusses as they go in.
Ryan and I are on each end as we slide each truss into position, but as this ceiling is vaulted, the trusses are very top heavy. Dad built a clever tool to help keep the trusses from flipping over as we dragged them across the walls.
My feet were getting tired from balancing on the slippery walls.

And here it is, the house is starting to look more and more like a house! We got all the big trusses spread out and into position. There are still many pieces to the puzzle to go, but for now it's time for a weekend. Monday we'll continue putting in bracing and other required pieces to keep everything solid, and then we can start sheathing the roof.
