	The first truss is set with the help of a crane on June 18,1999. The "ladder" attached to the truss allows the roof to overhang the gable and is constructed on the ground before the crane arrives.

	The job moves quickly, thanks to the crane.

	The last truss is positioned four hours after the crane arrives on the job. Note that plywood sheathing and black paper, in addition to the ladder, was attached to the gable truss before the crane arrived. Obviously, it is easier and faster to do this work on the ground, as opposed to waiting until the truss is on the log wall.

	This photo shows the ridge beam in place over the great room. This engineered beam will carry the load of the great room roof system (see next page). To size and price this beam, take your plans to your local lumber yard. The yard will send the plans to the beam manufacturer who will size the beam at no cost.
