February and March were spent constructing the 21 roof trusses. I built the truss jig on the loft floor and worked diligently on each truss. As each truss was completed I slid it to the ground and stacked it with the others. That's a lot of trusses. Each one has an awful lot of separate pieces to fabricate and fasten. I was sick of making trusses! So why make them myself? I was quoted almost $10,000 for a truss manufacturer to produce and deliver engineered trusses. The materials cost for self construction of the trusses was about $1,800. I got over it. I built trusses.
