Time to Build the Pole Barn

First we unload the lumber. We dug the holes on Saturday and put the poles in on Sunday.



We put the skirt boards on first and then the bracing and headers.




I hired two guys to help me and Sandra put the trusses up. These things were a beast to handle. It took six hours to get 9 trusses up and braced. They are 40 foot long and must weigh a ton. It took 3 guys to carry them and set on top of the walls.




Our kids decorated a "Christmas tree"!
