Today was another big day, if not the biggest day so far over at Coyote Run. Today the job site, really became a house site. All it took was a crane, six guys, and a whole bunch of trusses. Jess left the house early and the guys worked hard all day. The last truss was placed around 4pm. I rode over at lunch and got to see the work in progress. To see the roof lines really makes it feel like a house. We went back over after dinner and walked around upstairs. I hadn't been up to the second floor with all the walls framed. Tomorrow they will start sheeting the roof. I have to admit that I'm so excited about all this that I'm about ready to move in over there and sleep on the plywood floor. Here are some photos of Rollin' day.
Jess' truck at 6:30am (3000lbs of plywood, can't do that in a Subaru)
The trusses in the morning sun (not quite art, but it looks beautiful to us).
One last look before the rollin' begins...
around 2pm they were already mostly done
more views...

All done, time for a beer, nice job boys.

This is way cool! We plan to build one of the f series plans next spring on a pretty little lake in east Texas. We live in Alaska and visited our property in May. After about a year of planning, just staking it out got us really excited. I can only imagine what it must be like to see the walls go up. Can't wait to see the rest. Thanks for posting, we'll really enjoy watching.
