Cabin Update Part 2

Ok here we go.
It was a long but fun weekend. We got a lot of things done and the cabin is starting to take shape! I am excited! The first pic you see here is of all the trusses and gable ends except the far one laying on the top of the walls and center wall.



Next picture here is of all of us working on getting the front gable end up and in place it was tough but we got it!



Here is my little trooper Brett picking up all the messed up nails we had laying around man he did great and had it done in no time. Thanks Brett you were a big help!!



Here is a veiw from the back with some of the trusses up and the gable end up in place. If you look real close you can see me up in the trusses hanging on for dear life putting them things up while balancing on a 2x4 wall.



This next picture is a side view of the trusses going up. This took what seemed like forever to do. A lot of up and down and up and down and up... Well you get the picture.



Here is a picture of the front of the cabin from down at the pond. It's a WHOLE lot bigger looking with them gable ends on there!



Here is a picture from inside. I took this to show you that some of our trusses and one gable end are actually half trusses and a half gable end as the kitchen area is going to be cathedral ceiling along with the living room and dining room.



And last but not least. A picture from the side with all the trusses up and in place. Now we still have to build the center beam going from the center wall to the front gable end then we can put up the rafters and get to putting a roof on this bad boy!! Hope you all enjoyed the pics this week.
