Starting the Build on the Temporary Shed - Day 4

Starting the Build on the Temporary Shed - Day 4 we have to get Big Blue and move the trusses so that we can nail the back sides of them.
This is my first time lifting and standing trusses up this way. My stepfather normally does this task but I gotta do it sometime and there is no better time than the present.
It took a bit of a learning because Big Blue doesn't have any brakes and so we have to lift and move and try not to detach the cable from the boom that's lifting the trusses from the hook.
My stepfather was an iron worker for many years before being involved in a collapse of a conveyor they were installing. The 2 workers fell 40' and the other worker fell on top of my stepfather and he spent a long time in the hospital recovering. (Engineer miscalculated and the structure failed with them on it)
All that to say he knows how to hook up so that when I let to book down a bit that it will disconnect by itself when the pressure is released.
The second set of three trusses went a long more smoothly than the first set.
Once we got the frist truss set it didn't take long to get the other 5 stood up.
We got the bottom strapping on this and we knew that it was going to stand there now without any issues.

Until the next one, keep Living the Northern Life!
