Day 5 - 2nd story walls & roof trusses


Another cold, wet day. Originally snow was forecast for today but it just turned out to be cold and wet. We are on again off again for snow this Thursday.

The crane came out about 9am this morning to lift the 2nd story wall sections and the roof trusses. Since it had been raining this weekend I guess the crane operator decided to go mudding while he had the opportunity. Although Ray had told me the crane would come up to the house using the driveway, the driver decided to try the front yard from two different angles. Both resulted in mud flying and nice tire tracks in what was grass. After he decided to go with the driveway it took about 7.5 hours to get everything up on the 2nd level. Once again some adjustments had to be made with wall sections not coming together perfectly but Delinda said the guys skipped lunch to get things done correctly.
