Blocking & Bracing the roof trusses

Nothing exciting to take pictures of -- a whole week of bracing, blocking, putting nails on the hurricane fasteners, permanently setting the columns...nothing you can really see in a picture, but it isn't going to blow away in a hurricane!

Next he has to build the eaves (I think!) on the sides of the two story portion of the house -- maybe it is called the soffet? I don't know! It will have a foot overhang, and now there is nothing, I promise some photos.

All I do know is that I am not standing for one moment on the top of the FIVE, I repeat, FIVE layers of scaffold it is going to take to work at the peak....

Ooh, I got a little shiver on my spine just thinking about it.
