Trusses have been started

The first set of trusses are up. If you look in the photo from the last post, the ones they installed are above the garage (which is the one-story part of the front of the house). Also, the plywood partially covering the windows in the garage was removed, so they are now full size. The first truss was installed on top of the sun room - I presume the several that follow it will go up quickly. After that, the hard stuff begins. They did quite a bit of prep work on the trusses on the ground. They come assembled, but they add a layer of plywood to the end piece, which will eventually be the front of a gable and covered with siding. And they build the overhangs into the end pieces.

I didn't get to the house until about 6:20 today because I gave blood after work. It is getting too dark to take photos at that time of day. Pretty soon, especially when daylight savings kicks in, I will have to go there on my lunch house to get a well-lit photo.
