The tractor had to do some work this summer in order to have a dry place to live. The pictures below show the process involved in lifting the manufactured roof rafters or trusses  from Slegg lumber into place with the front-end loader of the tractor. This was the only part in the construction that I never undertook to make myself (wise move!)

The roof trusses are supported by beams on the three vertical posts on each side, not by the walls which stand on  the three horizontal raw logs of each of the side walls, placed on an old concrete barn foundation.

In April of 2010, I decided to make more room for parking in front of our house and to put a drainage pipe in to take off the extra water coming down from the upper field.  So the tractor was essential for digging the packed driveway soil.
