And Less Than 24 Hours Later...

When I got to the house at noon today (Tuesday), there was a HUGE change from
Monday. The trusses were being put on the roof. All the trusses were piled in the
street where the crane would pick up two at a time.





How high can they go????







Especially notice how far off the ground the front tires are on the truck. It
seemed like they were up 2' from the street!




The trusses would slowly be lifted to the house- they put them on from the
front to the back. There were a couple guys at the back ready to nail beams
into place. The blue pole is a safety pole that the guys are harnessed to in case
they start to fall. One of the really amazing things is that the house was started
about the first of February- it has ONLY BEEN 3 WEEKS!!!!!

















When dad and I came back in the afternoon after the workers had left,
we found even more things done.  Dad is standing at the front porch.

















Here's the inside.
















I decided to try out the tub.
















Dad loves the big bedroom windows.





















Here's the back of the house.

















Dad decided to write a message in the concrete before it hardened.
This is in the garage.
