Been working most of the week to get some trusses up. We have managed to complete the north side of the house and am starting to put on the top hat roof battens.
Monday I worked on my own and got a few minor things done. Came to the conclusion that we needed a crame for the trusses just to get them on the roof.
Tuesday the crane came and the driver was great. Gow's cranes in Wonthaggi. She placed the trusses gently and it was a pleasure to be able to work with her. Also placed the high window frames on the pasts that I had no Idea how we were going to get them up. It cost about $600 for the minimum of 4 hours but was worth every cent. We should have had the trusses sorted in order better but the staacks came in the wrong order. Ideally is money allowed I would have a crane for the whole truss operation. Maybe next time.
Wednesday was a write off with the weather very poor and SHMBO working.
Today I covered the family room and we covered the last of the lounge and main bedroom. Braced with hoop iron and got the first of the roof battens in the lower position.
Tommorrow I will finish the roof battens and fit the eave outriggers while SHMBO is at work again. Might look at some of the back trusses bepwnding on the weather. These should be easier as I have something to fix them to already. Also need to finish off the cement nails for the frames and cut out the door ways. Lots to do.

Am amazed at the progress you have made in a short space of time.
Weeks off work help the building go up but having to work slows progress down considerably. Roof on soon.
