Peacefull view
waiting for the slab
Wall up... but I think that tree is aiming for us.
Maybee they are all aiming for us.
If everyone with a defective fuel guage in their new GM loaned GM some money, maybee they could have avoided bankrupcy. Too bad we were all at the side of the road lugging gas cans when the word of financial doom went out. We would have helped... Really.
Here's a little video of walking the top plate.
We only had a two man crew on this day, but in four hours we got twenty 32' X 14' trusses rolled and braced.
Here's a bit of what I told Central Washington Truss after delivery, and after a discussion of a scheduling oops.
"Please give your driver a gold star, a pat on the back, and a fresh cup of coffee... his driving was awesome on site and his crane work was superb. My second man took a trade prep class last year that included twenty plus hand signals for directing cranes, but she didn't get a chance to use them. There was no need with your drivers' intuitive placement of the trusses."
Blue hammer, blue hair, blue bags... must be the artist thing.
OK, hand me the next outrigger will ya.

The Barbees are very involved customers. They are building their own windows and have carefully researched the products they need to get the look they want for this project. They are going for the "old barn" look, and this will be a fine old barn indeed.
Passed with flying colors first time, and ready to cover.
Finaly getting some paper up... after spending most of the day fixing high outriggers on the back of the building. The roofing would have hidden the truss variation, but when the morning light hit it just right... Now it looks just right any time of day.
Livin' on the edge
The batteries couldn't take the workout they were getting,so it's off to either Yakima or Issaquah... I love central Washington, in an hours drive you can reach most of the state... of course it turns out that most things you need are at least an hour away.
Parrallel parking practice so the second man can get her drivers license before she hits eighteen.
We really like the weathered barn color on the right.
If it was blue, it would look something like this.
The owners are doing their own siding and custom built windows, and it looks great.
The finished product. Nice.
