Starting lath.

Using a hard spacer to make sure the trusses are on center. This idea worked well & actually caught a layout problem before it got too bad.

The barn is all Topped out & the flag is flying!

Here's the finished framing. All trusses up, lath & fascia finished ready for roof & siding metal. Of course there's some diagonal bracing & all the interior stuff to finish but this is a huge milestone for us.

Here we are working on the high roof on the North side. Until about 2 it was cloudy with almost no wind so handling the foil insulation & the metal roof sheets wasn’t bad @ all. I’m the one the left & yes, I’m wearing a full body harness tied off.

This is the last sheet on the high North roof. It wasn’t very fun to get this one in since there was no place to stand but on the next to last sheet. My buddy held tight onto my lanyard to help give me some “confidence tension” while I walked around, carefully screwing down the sheet.

Another view of the last sheet on the North high roof getting screwed down. I really did not like reaching out to get the last 8 screws in!
