That one of Maisey should be on a Calendar.....
I know with all the heavy work involved, it is much Better at this "stage of life" to be the supervisor instead of the "grunt"....especially in the heat....and with extra hands it sure gets done much faster also......

There is no way that I would attempt this as a do it yourself project. I like the way these guys work so I just stay out of the way. If it wasn't for the rock they could just about have it done tomorrow but considering how long it has taken to drill three holes, we shall see. They are coming back early to get started before the heat.

They finally got the rock holes deep enough to set posts with concrete so hopefully it will go up fairly fast.

Yay for progress! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Real PITA when it takes as long to put in the posts as it will to do the rest of the build. Rock does have it's purposes but RIGHT where we want to put a post isn't one of them.

I'm going to offer the builder the chance to change his labor estimate since he didn't know what he was running in to. One thing I hadn't planned on was being as close to the hill as it has turned out to be but it needs to be there to meet the state's requirement for the minimum height at the outside corner. They already let me drop from 10' height to 9' so I wasn't going to ask for another waiver.

They just started putting up the metal trusses and then will cut off the excess on the poles.

They have one section left on the long leg and then they will have it all framed.

This is so cool to see your progress going so quickly,

If they didn't have to spend half a day drilling holes, it would be done except for the metal roof because it isn't here yet.

The first picture is the end truss (the inner one is already attached. The second picture was about 20 minutes late. I just looked out and the supports are set on that side also.
