Recovered somewhat from the long weekend of work on thanksgiving, the crew was back at it again Saturday morning. Jack is still here braving the cold. Dale keeps showing up to help despite the freezing weather. Evan and Kelsey came home. Bob spent some time this Saturday figuring out the technique needed to put siding up to avoid the braces on the bottom of the trusses.
Now work begins of attempting to get a roof on. The sheet metal used to cover the new building is a heavy guage that came also from a project at the former Central Soya. (This product is what you use to pour concrete onto if you are having a second story.)
The goal for today was put 2 X 4 purlins perpendicular to the trusses in order to have something to screw the roofing into. This took almost all day on Saturday. We still have Locust Knoll Farms lift so we are trying to accomplish "airborn" projects while we have the that. In retrospect, we could not have put this building up without that machine!
