Pole Barn Day 5- Braces & Trusses

Today we installed our braces and finally got to hang our trusses we worked so hard on.  It was a little tricky getting them from the ground to the top of the 2x6's, but after a few we were pros.  Well, some of us were pros.  Papa managed to move a ladder twice with objects on top of them that in turn smashed his noggin.  One was a drill and one was a hammer.  Luckily Papa has a good hard head and they bounced right off.  He also got a truss in the head that was swinging back towards the ground because I let it go.  Whoops!  Papa wasn't the only one to injure himself today.  I tried to adjust a truss by hitting it over with my hand but instead hit the end of a nail at full speed.  By the end of the day all of the trusses were up but not without a little blood, sweat and bruises!
