Roof sheathing started today. They used 49 sheets of 5/8″ OSB sheathing to cover the east side and most of the north side. All of the roof sheathing is clipped to provide extra strength. It goes quickly!

Truss Me, I Know What I’m Doing
The trusses went up today. The crane was only there for four hours and things went really well. The roof is hip style with a 6/12 pitch.
Gird is the Word
The garage is framed and girder trusses are going up today. These are raised-heel trusses, also known as energy heel trusses. They allow for more insulation to be blown in on the outer edges of the roof, increasing energy efficiency.
Sheat is Coming Together
Nearly all of the wall of framing is complete and sheathing is going quickly. We did have a minor casualty on Friday when Gunther accidentally nailed his thumb with the nail-gun. After a quick trip to the Red Cloud ER and three attempts at pulling it out, he’s finally on the mend.
Lunch & Park with Jacobsen’s
Ryan and Abby stopped by today and we all had lunch and a nice trip to the park. The boys had a blast playing together.
