          Trying to learn

          I have shot "GoPro" video throughout this do it yourself project. Don't have a clue on how to get it from camera to the interwebs but today I was able to do some very basic editing. I uploaded a clip to YouTube and hope it can be seen here. I'll have to do this is parts I suppose. This is from the morning of the pour to me fabricating the WF beam for the rafters. Still have a bunch more clips to do.

                  I did get some help from some co-workers putting up the rafter beams, try as I may it was just to much for me and my wife. I rented a telescoping forklift for that.






                  Hanging the roof purlins was a trying experience especially on the peak. Was able to get a couple up while I had the forklift but 95% were lifted up and installed by hand. Only dropped one from 19ft. I kissed the ground after installing the last 72lb roof purlin. I am truly blessed with a wife that helps me with whatever I am doing.

                  The heat is something to contend with now. I am slowing my pace and taking a lot of water breaks. Taking my time as I realize this is going to be a long term project but I do want to get it dried in soon.
