Put A Lid On It

As of yesterday our house is now starting to look like a house.  The trusses are on and we have most of a roof.  When Chris and I went to see it on Saturday it was only the outside walls that were up.  There were no inside walls framed at all.  That means that yesterday they framed all of the inside walls, including the garage, and they put on our roof.  Well, they put on the most important part of the roof that is.  They did all of that in a day.  I know that they say Rome wasn't built in a day, but I am not so convinced now.  If these guys were there building everything, it is total possible.  They move so quickly.  From the start of framing our basement to having the trusses put on was only 3 days.  That's it!  3 days!  I didn't know that was even a thing that was possible.  

The start of our trusses.

Only a few more to go.

Oh, and for those of you who don't know what trusses are.  They are things on the top of our house. . .  Okay, a little more descriptive.  They are essentially the framing for the roof.  A lot of people also call them the A-Frames.  That is something that I didn't know that they were called, trusses.  It sounds so fancy.  I am learning new things everyday with this process.  It's awesome.
