One of the stacks of completed trusses. We have two sizes, one at 18" wide and all of the ones next to window and door opening are at 15" wide to allow the bales and plaster to curve around them.
Andre and Justin assembling the "Larsen Trusses". A 2x6 and a 2x4 joined together with 16 nailing plates on a total of 52 trusses equals 852 plates times 10 bashes with the hammer for each plate is 8500 hammer hits of steel on steel. Our neighbors must be loving us now!!Deirdre had built a jig to aid in the assembly, but it was still a lot of work for one of the crew who was used to office work in his former life. "We've only just begun..."
Deirdre cutting the framing material to length, to build the trusses which will support the roof and hold the bales in place.
The virgin slab. Isn't it a thing of beauty!!
