February 20: All is Ready for Our Arrival

The four assembled roof trusses are stacked in the living space.
A crane will lift them into place next week.

Each truss requires a complicated use of come-alongs,
which strap the trusses together with tons of pressure during assembly.

The peak is one of the first points of the truss to be secured
with serious, 14" screws with high tensile strength.

The four roof trusses are assembled and ready to fly into place next week. We'll arrive on island Tuesday afternoon (assuming we are able to catch the 3pm ferry). Erik has arranged for the crane on Wednesday, weather permitting, but if rain or wind is predicted, he'll bring the crane in on Tuesday. Can't wait!
