On Tuesday we arrived at the site to build the trusses which would eventually be "flown" in by a crane. I didn't take many photos other than at lunchtime, where we saw what must have been between 12-18 loon babies floating across the water.










Thursday was a long day as I had to get up at around 5:30 a.m. , have a shower and head to Mike's shop to pick up the come-alongs, to pull the two side of the great room together.

The crane came at about 8:30 and we started to lift the trusses and purlins. After that we flew in the SIP panels (from INUSLSPAN) http://www.insulspan.com/

































After the work was finished, at about 5:00 or so, I took a little tour around Buckshot Lake in a 10' Mercury Inflatable boat with the 7.5 hp Mercury engine that I salvaged from my dad's boat. Other than a brief thunderstorm or two, it was a pretty good day all tolled.
