Our roof trusses arrived this morning

Silas Nolt, our truss-guy, had a "Mini Me-type" helper (I guess it would be more appropriate to call him a "Mini Mennonite" helper?)... this little guy will be three on Saturday... cute.
The trusses coming off Silas's trailer:It'll REALLY be a milestone when we get these up and covered with tin!Here's a panorama of the building and our load of trusses:Back to laying block with my ice chest dunked wash cloth to keep me cool. The front (north) wall is almost finished... just three more courses and the bond beam (our red "mortgage FREE" front door will go in the opening to the right after I build the door frame and saw the blocks off even vertically):Watering Alexis' square foot garden is a lot easier than laying block.Our billionaire "neighbor," Sir John Templeton died yesterday at 95 (Templeton Growth Fund)... our people were never able to get with his people so Alexis and I never did get to "do" tea with Sir John at his library which is just down the road (St Mary's Lane) a piece from our land. May Sir John rest in peace.
