Dead in the Water

If you are checking this blog regularly, you probably noticed that I haven't posted for several days.  Well, that's because nothing new has happened.  Construction has been at a standstill waiting for some custom build trusses to be constructed.  The trusses are the long beams that make up the ceiling of the first floor and the floor of the second.

My understanding is the trusses cant be made until the first floor has been framed out since they have to measure the walls to make the trusses exactly the right size.  You can't cut them down if they are wrong.  Once they measure the first floor wall framing, then it takes 3-4 days for the trusses to be made.

Delivery is expected for 6:30AM on Friday, so hopefully I will have lots of progress to post Friday night.
