Raising the roof in Dallas

We are currently on "vacation," although that term has taken on a new meaning on this trip. (See our blog "Travels with Sadie." ) While we are away, son Patrick was kind enough to visit our building project and take a few photos with his phone.

This is the northeast corner of the house.
Looking through the garage "wall" into the interior.
Note the trusses are lying on top of the house.

This is looking into the RV garage. Note the heavy
bracing of the walls. The trusses for this section are
over 50 feet long. They can't be light in weight.

This is the front of our soon to be home. I notice a stack of
trusses on the ground. I wonder how they will lift those onto
the top of the walls.

We hope that, by the time we return to Dallas, the trusses will be standing up and the roof sheeting will be started. Soon, we will be able to see the outline of our new home. We are thrilled.
