Roof! Roof!

This week, it was all about the roof. On Monday the framers worked on the inside walls that needed to be built to support the trusses. Tuesday was truss truck day. On wednesday, it was trusses UP! Yes, that is John the plumber helping there. Seems he's an all-purpose kind of guy. They got the main house done on wed, and thurs. it was on to the garage. There was also some work on the porches until some issues popped up. They discovered they were missing a truss, and a header for the front porch, and someone at the truss company loaded the back porch on the truck backwards. So, now they have to sheet off the back of the house and turn the trusses around. None of these are show stoppers and they've pretty much already been fixed. The next step was to start with the sheeting on friday. They got the entire front done, but not as much as they wanted to. There's a LOT of roof there and it takes time. Next week, finishing the sheeting on the roof, garage and porches, putting the roofing on (already talked to Bill the roofer), windows and sliding doors and finishing the interior framing so that the plumber and electrician can get going. They the framers will go outside and start on the siding. It's supposed to rain, so we'll see.......
