The Day
of the Trusses
25 March 2003
The trusses had been delivered before the frame was erected.
Now all we had to do was piff them up onto the roof - can't see any problems
there, can you?
Today we were just Jonni, Tim and myself, so the other two got busy swinging
the first truss
upside down across the top of the frame. So far so good.
"Just hold it there Jonni" said Tim, "and I'll think of what
we do next".
Once the system had been worked out, it all hummed along quite nicely,
although................
There was the odd 'tricky little moment'!
It's all coming along pretty well now - just the last one.........
The last truss to be swung into place - but unfortunately there seems to be
a couple of heads in the wrong place.
The expression on Jonni's face actually is saying "for
heavens sake hurry up with your damn photo
so we can get some bracing onto these trusses or they'll all blow down with
the first puff of wind".
