Roof Trusses delivered

Our Carpenter Mick called to advised that our Trusses were arriving today. Mid-afternoon the first of two Trucks arrived. Trusses are ready for the Carpenters on Monday.


First of two trucks arrives with our Roof Trusses.

Smaller sections of Roof Truss easily placed on the ground
This is the last batch with a really long span being lifted
Thank goodness for space to swing the crane around. Driver said he loves this type of delivery as against a suburban block of land. 
Almost in position
All done. 
Thanks to Leigh Bradford and the team at M B Pre-Fab Framing Pty Ltd our fantastic Roof Trusses

Now, an hour later, rain, rain and more rain. Timing was perfect!

Have achieved quite a lot in exactly three weeks since the pouring of the Slab. However, the Bank balance is decreasing as quickly as the structure is increasing.
