The Dance

Having no experience at material management, this whole process has been a real learning opportunity. First we needed the framing, bracing and strapping material to be here for the roof truss installation. So that material arrived on the Monday.

Tuesday morning our crane operator arrived minutes ahead of the truss company's truck. The trusses were off-loaded onto the driveway and then boomed up onto the roof, 4 or 5 at a time. Jeremy, from our crew, ran the tag-line and things went smoothly.

Perth Planing Mill is our supplier of building materials. So far, they have been very supportive of us newbies. Centennial Truss supplied our trusses, and I must have made a million phone calls to Russ and Mike, ensuring that I have considered everything. Lastly, Greg Coleman was the crane operator, and he was kind enough to come out to the site in advance to ensure he could do the lift. All of these guys showed up when they said they would, contrary to everything that we had been told about the house building industry, so we are considering ourselves to be very fortunate to have found such great companies to deal with.
