Small Trip to Home Depot...

So it was a quick little trip, (my favorite kind.... shhh don't tell anyone). Anyhouse we went to look at trusses for the new barn we are working on together. The angles of cutes, stress loads, precision of reproduction as well as other things make them har dot manufacture... pretty hard to make a truss... every tried? The bigger the truss, the harder is it to make one. Just the sheer weight of the object can be a burden to suspend while working on them. It's easier to put them on the ground and work on them there. If you're lucky enough to have a good foreman around, pretty much all you gota do is listen for what he says and do it when he tells you. Sometimes it's hard to hear him over all the noise, the saws and what not, but if you hunt for the right answer you have a good chance of finding it. And by good chance I mean 50/50. There just is sooooo much to learn about building it just craziness. You have to have decades of experience in order to put it all together and be an expert like my pops is. The old grandpa, boy he's been doing it for like 50+ years... crazyiness I tell you. And I thought I was stulmbing upon something new just because it was new to me... no sonny he said. You might have all the fancy gizmo's and buzz says, but we did it all by hands and by the books back in the day. Wow, who would of thought... building a truss all by hand. One step at a time... Hurry and build all you can before you get reaplced by a machine... it's coming.
