Pretty easy to tell the posts made via phone. It do what it want.

Added couple blocks to end of lower chord to make truss temporarily wider so easier to keep on the wall. Need to trim siding off across the bottom about 3/4 inch and notch the ends under those extra blocks. Trim/fasten the flashing that keeps water from getting behind original front siding...

Did about 15 things but still didn't set the gable end. Had bunch of little details that were stacking up. Siding nails are 1/4 too long. Leaves rippers sticking thru a 2x4. Had to grind them flush. About 20 so far. Still more to nail but they can be done after it's in place. Fabricobbled the...

As we all know these are a card-flip but sure looked like a top 20 run coming. It's the nature of the beast tho.

Kat having some radio issues as usual. Or at least the team is having trouble hearing each other. Think spotter can't hear her and CC breaking up?

Woo-hoo! I figured out the scanner. They changed the page and I hadn't poked around enough. You click what I thought was for MRN Radio.

Still thinking. Had it figured out then remembered the pesky thing called physics. Nope.

After some thought the angled deal won't work. No way to control how fast the load would roll down the "ramp". Really need the 2x6 on top of the roof, probably at least foot above rafter peak, with a pivoting/swivel hook. Whole idea is to be able to do the lift from Durham or at least few feet...

Done nothing. Head is FUBAR but do think figured out how to build a crane to lift the gable truss. Stand 10 foot 2x6 up like it belongs for strength, one end attached to peak on last one set, other end attached to the lower chord of truss 4 or 5. Be extended out past front of shed about 30...

Brian Deegan. I hate that dude.

Realized the ridge block attached to last one is wrong. 2ish inches too long. Not sure exactly how I'll measure that one. Need gable up to measure. Need block in so it doesn't try to fold up like a cheap suit. Hmmm? Could add some wedges to one side so has 8 inch surface to sit on

We be jammin!💕😍💕 Probably end up going back out after clothes are done and do some cutting on gable end siding. Not looking forward to cobbling the lift for that. If had 14 foot step ladder be better except... don't think could get it in their and stood up. Did I mention I'm terrified?😉

One more too go. That last one was a pain in the patootie. Had it up and when running first screw in it fell over. Only one that did to me. After I washed my butt and changed clothes, tied it off 14 ways so couldn't move. It's up thar!😃 Now sitting in recliner with heating pad behind back and...

Only two to go and one is the gable end. Need to do a little work to gable. Have to cut thru siding for doors and install hinges. Trim lower part of siding an inch or so. Have to trim top of siding above front door and attach the flashing strip before setting gable. But we closing in on this...

What do you expect? What difference would be satisfactory? If she went to a Woo race would you expect her to qualify in top five and finish top three? She's doing exactly what I expected. This will be one and done. She just doesn't have it for race car driving. If Sophia Floersch couldn't do...
