Lots going on over here at the Creech house. Yesterday, the trusses were delivered to our house. Talk about exciting to watch! I'm so glad I was here to see it all happen. A flat bed semi truck pulled up in front of our house and proceeded to BACK into our driveway. I thought for sure he had our mailbox, but he was very skillful & missed it. Then, with a big racket, his back wheels locked up but the truck was moving backwards. The back wheels actually slid forward to about mid way on the trailer bed. Holy cow!! He was able to move back some more. After untieing the trusses, the front of the truck bed moved upward. With a few forward jolts of the truck, the trusses slid easily to the ground. No human hands were used in getting the trusses off the truck. Really cool to watch. Definitely pays to have the right equipment when doing work like this! Here's some pictures of the process.
Tomorrow (Saturday), the framers should be here to put the trusses up on the house. From there, plywood will be added to the roof. It's all moving along so nicely. I feel so confident that we hired the right contractors for this job. I couldn't ask for better people to be working on our house.
