Maybe it's just me BT, but shouldn't a cement truck be coming in there somewhere?

BTW, good luck because you're going to need it trying to paint on a floor like that...

It's all good, Brian. Not gonna paint on dirt.

Gimme some time, bro.

Progress and another pic... The other wall is framed. Ready for the trusses now. We're gonna frame the front and back wall right up to the trusses instead of platin' 'em at 8' like the side walls.

If weather and schedules permit, the trusses will be moved from the chicken resort to my back yard today.

 

[fstbusa]

Yeah, comin' right along.

More progress and more pics...

Got the walls squared at the top and braced for the trusses...

 

[BulletTrain]

Closer shot of the right wall...

 

[fstbusa]

you and your father building the trusses and hoisting them up there yourselves??

 

[BulletTrain]

Talk about a stunt! Try haulin' 40'+ long trusses on a 28' long trailer!

It worked though. Had to chain the ramps out as support and use angle iron to brace the end hangin' off but we got 'em here. Luckily we only had to go about a mile. I had my doubts about makin' it work. Took some time, two tractors and a forklift but we managed to get 'em loaded and get 'em moved.

MSF, I know you'll understand this. Ya work with what ya got and MAKE it work!

 

[BulletTrain]

We're hoistin' 'em, yeah. We're usin' the ones from the chicken resort so we don't have to build 'em. We did go through all of 'em and re-enforce 'em though. They're stronger than when they were new!
