We have been so blessed by the willing help of friends! Mr. Siefker again took a day off from working on his own house to help us with the trusses. He has been a great encouragement to us this whole house building process! Mr. Goins came to help as well and of course Johan didn't want to miss out on this! We had a great "army" of men working of the trusses came! It was a joy to see!
The waiting is over and the truck is coming down the road! Can you tell we were a little excited? :) 
While standing upstairs watching the goins-on I noticed that I could see everyone standing with me reflecting in the truck's window. Of course it was a fun picture to take! Then a minute later Johan, who is a photographer came up to me and mentioned that it would make a great picture! I laughed and said I already had taken one!
Benjamin and Dad.
Starts singing: "Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height, and send it soaring..." Yeah, a 2,000 lb kite! Whew!
"Look at me! I've got this end!" hehehehe!
Excited spectators! It was SO cold while sitting watching! They ended up getting into the van and shutting the door!
Mr. Goins connecting the crane to the trusses.
Hang on David! You are two stories high!
Now we know who posed for the gold man! Hahahaha! Just give Mr. Siefker an ax and paint him gold and there you have it!
This is a strange picture. It is the brace for the front of the truck to keep it balanced while lifting the bundles of trusses.
Easy does it David! Please be careful! He was! Whew!
Not so high up this time. This was over the apartment and only one story.
They were going to start on the apartments roof but the trusses upstairs were in the way. So they ended up beginning upstairs while the light lasted.
