Almost ready for roof trusses


Of friend of ours, Dick Mueller, built this model of our house so folks can get a better idea of what our finished home will look like.


Been busy adding the final big beams needed to support the house roof.  Matt is clamping a temporary small beam into place that will hold two verticals in place while they are welded.


Gandalf contemplating his clamping system.


Welding a horizontal beam on top of the two verticals we have clamped.


I have a fireproof welding blanket over my lap so the sparks don’t build up and catch my pants on fire.  The scaffold is holding up the horizontal beam I am welding so I needed to don my rigging gear to get into position.
