Trusses Almost Done62 viewsAll 16 of the trusses are almost done. This is the first 24 foot section of the trusses for the pole barn and new shop roof. You can see the end that will sit on the exterior wall (by the green tarp), with knee wall frame section that will be sitting on the beam and the loose tails sitting on the roof. The loose tails will have another 8 feet gusseted into them with an end plate and foot plate to anchor to the existing roof. Rudi

West Wall57 viewsThe West Wall is almost finished sheathing, just the peak of the gable left to sheath. These are the recycled 4'-0" x 10'-0" sheets of Douglas Fir that are from billboard sign faces. Already, the shop is about 10% warmer. The left over paper etc., will probably peel off over the winter.. and I will just have a bit of waste to pick up.Rudi

What am I missing ???60 viewsRoger is trying to figure out what is happening I guess.... notice that all the tops of the poles have been cut? Bruce is my sivilculturist -- in other words, he cuts all the trees on my land that I can't do. He has years of experience in the bush.. but his trade is as a machinist.Rudi
