June 24th - Raise the Roof!

The van had a flat on the way over, so the 15 of us that rode the Habitat van got to hang out in the shade for a while. Don't leave Allen wrenches in the road, kids.

Roof trusses were installed with 18" spacing. Maya's installing a brace up on top to keep them vertical.

The trusses were a bit funky in the corners, since the roof was a full gable.

The sun illuminated the roof trusses nicely, so I took a picture.

The trusses were all stored across the street. Groups of two and three carried them to the house, then a separate crew hosted them up to the roof.

Another picture in the corner of the roof. There's a little funkiness going on with differently sized trusses forming the roof surface.

All of our signatures on the garage floor.

The homeowner had is sign all our names on the garage floor. She planned to clear-coat it to remember us by.

It looks like a house, doesn't it? We built it in two days!
