How hot is it there? Here in East Texas, I'm about done for by 3 in the afternoon with the heat and humidity.

Don't know how you Texans do it. I am leaving the 100deg heat of Houston to get back home to Seattle where it is a comfortable 85deg! Yeah... Seattle is having a heatwave of a summer this year!

How hot is it there? Here in East Texas, I'm about done for by 3 in the afternoon with the heat and humidity.

We've been running in the 95-98* range for highs. Dew points in low 80's. So that puts heat indexes above 115.
I know what you mean. We've been quitting between 1&3pm. Basically work till lunch then go cool off and eat and find something else to do with the afternoon.
The cool off I referenced was just upper 80's. More of an average temperature for us. Although low 90's aren't bad. If humidity is down.

Trusses are up. Still need to add purlins. Ran out of daylight yesterday. Have one purlin down each side with front and back braces.

Yea TBN seems to be having a problem with pictures. Will see if I can do something different.

Farmer,

Looking good. I love these gambrel roof designs, and eventually will be building something pretty much identical to yours. Thanks for the photos along the way.

Can you tell me since you're this far along now, what is the height of 1st floor from concrete to bottom of 2nd story floor joists and then the height of 2nd floor from subfloor to ceiling at center and maybe at the corners from first sloping rafter? I'm trying to get an idea of head room in the storage loft and tractor room in the 1st floor.
