…and the nice weather continues…

This new project we are working on is turning out pretty cool. We built this huge timber truss, (well, Chris and Scott built it, I just drew the pictures for them). These are 10×10 Douglas Fir Timbers. the joints are mortise and tenon held together with oak dowels. Above is a picture as it was built and ready to stand in place.

Once we were ready we had Sam come with the crane. Always a fun time:

And here it is with the ridge beams in place:

Now we need to figure out the dormers and gables and get the perlins in place. Then we will be ready for the roof decking…probably just as the snow starts….
