Ok well here are a few pics of what we dad done this week and weekend. We worked mainly on the Gable ends the trusses, and the rafters we got them all done late Sunday afternoon. Wow a LOT of work!
This first picture here is of my dad holding up the first truss that was done. This one in the pic is an inside truss not a Gable end as the Gable ends will be a lot more braced and heavier.
Here is a pic of my mom next to the first truss. My mom and dad built this one together and several more durning the week. My mom has been a real trooper and helping out as much as she can. THANKS MOM for your help!!!
Here are a few more pictures of the rest of the trusses and Gable Ends we all finished this weekend. We cut rafters as well. So my dad is now starting to put up WALLS!!!!!! Whooohooo I thought that day would never come!!!!
On this last picture you can see the difference. This one your looking at is a Gable end notice all the extra wood and bracing involved. Man them babies are heavy!! Well that's it for now but hopefully next weekend I can show you all some pictures with walls up on this cabin!!! I can't wait for that!

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
