The ground floor external walls are erected - just the front section missing. That has been left out because we have a problem (well we did say trials and tribulations...) . At the front of the house there is a telephone cable for next door - and it is proving a problem for the machine to lift the trusses on. It was pointed out to the timber frame company when they did site inspection - they said it wouldn't be a problem - but now it is stopping work.
Don't know whats going to happen tomorrow - it is going to be interesting to see how many trusses make it up onto the external walls. The erector wants a crane - but timber frame people say cable will still be in the way.
It may be a ten man lift job - in the pouring rain and high winds on wet scaffolding!! If it works out i'll be amazed!!! another update to come tomorrow!
