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.
