I'm teaching Osker how to pick blackberries!!  It's the only gentle thing we do!  Osker gets covered with burrs and has to be brushed every day.  Mom even vacuums him!

Here are the ridge beams to each gable.  Looks weird!

In the middle of the upstairs room there are four posts and beams that will support the ridge beam with additional posts.

Here is the view with the house trusses in place.  The gables at each end and the ridge need to be hand built.  The plans are sketchy on this so it will be interesting!

The guys (Dad and Mike) finished sheeting the garage roof today!  We have shade!  This is the view looking north.  The ridge beams, etc were delivered and set up on the second floor ready for framing!

Friday afternoon the trusses arrived on a boom truck and trailer.

The truck driver placed bundles of trusses on the roof of the house and garage.

Carpenter Mike had two guys helping him secure the bundles to the framing.

Then they set the garage trusses and were done before 5:00!
