A 40' tractor trailer showed up at 8:00. It took 5 hours to unload.

While the truck is unloaded Jerry and I shoveled the ice and snow out of the basement. The water will be there until the house is weather-tight.

These are the panels for the second floor outside walls. Each panel is studded and covered with plywood. Siding is done in the traditional way later.

the majority of the wood comes pre-cut to the 1/16th of an inch. These are 2x12's for the house.

Here is the driveway after the truck has been unloaded. Everything has been sorted into piles.

Here are some of the trusses and plywood.

Each truss is made to size. Note that the open space allows for power and other utilities to be run through the truss without drilling.

Typical beams. Note each is cut to exact size

Panels stacked on the lawn.

Work began on the sills soon after the truck left.

Photos of the second truck load. This load included the window panels and the roofing materials. Everything is covered due to the lousy weather.
