Trusses Arrived

July 15th, 2009

Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself...when last we left off, some posts had been installed...well next comes the beams!

The beam go up...

See Jane, all the beams are on...

And what a difference a beam makes...the floor with the posts seemed small for some reason...but the beams add such mass, the house feels huge...even though the footprint didn't change.

I took the weekend off to take part in a Cancer Relay in Houghton Lake with some of my best buds...and still managed to finish fixing the leaky trailer roof (something that has been on my list for some time)!

As far as farm news...the strawberries are just about gone...the peas were ripe for the pickin'...mmmm, fresh peas! Can't resist eating them raw right out of the pod...but am hoping to save some for creamed tuna with peas on toast! Next up is the raspberries...a few teaser berries were ripe...enough to make our mouth water for what is to come...

But I digress...the trusses arrived on Monday, just before I left to come back to the city...on a really big truck. I thought it was going to be a big job to unload that truck...little did I know...

The trusses come down...well, in this picture, they start their downward journey...

And as the truck pulls away, they land with a really loud bang!

Green and White Acres is the place for me. Farm livin' is the life for me. Land spreadin' out so far and wide. Keep Main Street, just give me that countryside.
