Five day set back...

Between having a terrible cold and hurricane Faye causing it to rain cats and dogs, our building progress has been slowed for the last few days. Now it will probably be Tuesday before I'll schedule the crane to come and set the trusses. In the meantime there are several things I can do to prepare. Today I'll mark the top plates 24" on center and screw the metal brackets down to hold the trusses in place. Also I'll nail OSB sheathing and the HardiPlank siding to the gable end trusses to avoid having to put those on while teetering on a ladder or scaffolding (this project assumes I can drag the trusses to a place I can work on them by myself?). Here's hoping today will be a productive day.
