Raising the roof

These framers are amazing! Look what they've accomplished in two days!
It rained Monday so the house stayed covered until Tuesday when the upstairs walls were built. Then today they built the roof trusses from scratch. Notice in the fourth picture how the worker is swinging up the long truss boards up against the house. Then they lifted them in place to nail in place. Our house is on a long bend in the road so it really stands out with the second story and tall roof. I guess we won't paint it pink.
