Installation of trusses for Open Truss Ceiling (Photos by Dick Mansfield unless noted -- view earlier construction shots

Trusses get final touchup with sander 11/15/06

The trusses are made from Douglas Fir and are beautiful in form and function


Using straps, the crane carefully pulls the truss upright.


A good look at the beauty of the truss as it is lifted. Note the end open truss already in place.

It is a careful slow lift to clear the building.
