Trussed way up

Sue was busy taking photos at the construction site from 9:30 to 10:30 or so Wednesday morning, March 4. The crew was lifting the trusses for the clerestory into place. Deb and Paul were there to help supervise.

The initial sequence in the slideshow below shows the first set of trusses being lifted from the ground and set into place on the clerestory walls. Once the trusses are in place, the framing crew removes the harness. Then, there are several photos showing other truss packages being lifted and Warren hooking the harness onto the crane hook.

At the end, packages of several squares of roofing were lifted onto the roof over the offices, kitchen and restrooms for Warren to install.

Sue came back later in the afternoon after the crew had left. Two photos show that already the trusses were installed over the front half of the clerestory -- but not the back half. The last photo shows that Warren had begun already to remove siding from the north side of the sanctuary building.
