The guys had a couple of hours of enjoyment at work today involving an erection. That has a good sound to it. Picture here of what it looked like, then a 26 foot wall, then a 19 foot wall, then hooking up to the roof, then ready for take off, then up, up and away, then in the air, then coming down, and lastly she's down. The neighbours will notice we were there today. These days are highlights for me.
Sorry pictures didn't make it on this first posting.

That looks like a very efficient way to build, I never really thought about how it was done. When I had my house added to the guys stick built everything, but that was in '89.

We do get quite a few big ones. This one isn't as large as some at around 6000 sq. ft. but is quite complicated with almost all the ceilings either being vaulted or tall like 14 and 15 feet high. Luckily it has a very low slope on the roof so it's a dream to work on.
BC sort of sets the bar for the health of the economy, very hard to tell in Saskatchewan, kind of a save for a rainy day economy here.. ( not a bad thing )
amazing how effecient building on grade, then using a crane can be .

Brings back good memories of when I put the roof on my shop. I built it on the ground in three sections and then had a cherry picker lift it on a piece at a time while me and my buddies got it aligned and nailed it on.
Had it done in one hour! (Course it took two weeks to build on the ground but it least I wasn't hanging on with one hand while I was trying to drag lumber up with the other)
Its the way to go!
