ATTENTION - ATTENTION - ATTENTION!!! This started out being about our building process since our home was constructed using alternate processes and materials. If you are interested in how it went together, it would be best to begin at the first post and move through them. If, however, you don't really care about that, the current posts are just about daily life here on "the ranch". Thanks for stopping by and if you leave a comment, I will be forever grateful!!!!!

Coming Along Nicely........
Well, the weather cleared up a little so we can proceed. We rented a crane for a week to get the beams in place and "fly" the roof panels. This is the beam in the great room being placed.
This is how it looked from below - to the west. You can see the beam sticking out in the highest part above the 2 windows.
The roof panels are being assembled in the garage-to-be. From left to right is Bill, Dean, contractor Ray-Ray and Jim. They are putting 3 panels together - 2 x 6's between and headers and footers. All blue glued and blue screwed together.
Then the put-together panels are "flown" to a pile, waiting for all to be completed.
Then, each completed panel group is "flown" to it's place as the roof. Here, Dean is "guiding"
