The Rising of the Bones

On Monday afternoon the structural steel arrived and early Tuesday morning the crew was busy on the site. Tuesday and Wednesday were spent unloading the steel and welding pieces in place in preparation for construction.

On Thursday the big Genie Telescopic Telehandler was unloaded and construction began.

The first steel column was standing by about 10 AM on Thursday

Soon there were four.

 Then by late afternoon on Thursday, the main rafters were welded to the columns on the bedroom end of the building.

By quitting time on Thursday the outline of the structure on the bedroom end was done. It was fun to get an exact idea of the size and shape of the building for the first time.

Friday went much faster. Four more columns and their main rafters were up by noon. Then more purlins were welded in place. Next week, perhaps we'll see some skin on the bones.
