Polebarn Construction Day 3

Wednesday was a beautiful day, warm but not too hot nor humid.  The crew arrived early and often.  We had 7 men, a woman and one of the guy's nine year-old nephew.  They got right to work sawing off the posts even with the top of the truss carriers, screwing the truss carriers to the posts (previously they had just been nailed in place) and marking the trusses for purlin placement.  Eventually they were ready to start placing the trusses.

The end trusses were up a little before 10AM.

How do they get the trusses up there?  First one end...

then the other.  Then a guy would flip the right side up with a "pickle stick".

Putting up some of the steel trim.

Having a big crew, they could do that while the rafters were being installed.

 By the end of the day, it looked like a real building.

Looking from the north to the south.

Looking from the southwest to the northeast.

Who is that with a handful of tomatoes?

Lean-to rafters.  Beautiful!

The next morning.

Looks purdy in the sunshine.

Can't wait until they get the steel up today and the concrete poured on Friday.
