Getting Ready for Trusses




When we went by the home site on Saturday afternoon, we were really surprised at all the activity. I had not expected any work to be done on the weekend.

The misplaced concrete windowsill in the nook had been raised to the correct position. The masonry wall insulation had been installed and the wood that goes inside each window and door location had been installed.

The crew had constructed and installed the load bearing wall between the garage and house, and a small load bearing section in the wall at the master bathroom. The small knee walls at the top of the front porch had been constructed and installed. Also, the laminated beam for the back of the lanai was put in place.

Also, the truss pack had been opened and the truss sections for the left and right sides of the roof, along with the two gables for the front, had been pre-assembled. It looks like they are all ready for action on Monday.
