Finally, it was a clear, cool (sometimes breezy) Autumn day, the crane was available, and the trusses were set by 1.00 PM.  btw - there is a triangular cap that goes on top of each truss, the roof will really NOT be flat on the top.

The front of the house

Ruthie and I met her brother Larry and his wife Georgia (from Asheville) at Lake Lure on Saturday.  It was a beautiful day, we had lunch and checked out the progress of the house.   It is beginning to feel like a house now because you can actually walk from one room to another.
