Rowhouse framing part 6 - the roof

With exceptional weather this week the crew is setting up the majority of the trusses.  Once again I am grateful to the framing crew for overcoming some terrible cold and for having the lifting machine that adds so much to their productivity.

With the roof advanced this far we now have to deal with the last of the firewall pours.  The framers set up a series of planks to allow the cribbers very easy access to set the last of the forms.  With some luck we can have this done quickly and the roof can be finished completely.  

All the heavy sheeted gable trusses are quickly lifted into place and fastened.  With framers on the ground assembling the pieces, and one on the roof installing the trusses, progress is made.

The first of three roofs is complete.
