Working on Our Truss Issues

We discovered the best way to spend a beautiful weekend:  staining the trusses!  The framing crew prepared the five trusses on Friday so that we could stain and poly-coat them prior to them being lifted into place in the great room.  Mother Nature cooperated, too, giving us beautiful weather in the 80s - a full 20 degrees lower than the past few weeks!

Ready to Go

We used the same Cherry stain that we used on the windows.  Side note:  look at my poor grass!  This drought has not spared noTTafarm.  Stay tuned for green grass in 2013.

Go Scotty Go!

Scott decreed one coat of stain would suffice.  

I said, "yay!  less work for me!"

Proof

It's true that, once in a while, I do pitch in on tasks.  I was responsible for staining one and a half trusses but I poly-ed two of them.

Extra Hands Made the Work Go Faster

Carl stopped by Saturday after lunch to lend a helping hand with the staining, and made a return trip Sunday afternoon to help out with the poly-coat.  Thanks, Dad!

Ready for Monday

By late afternoon Sunday, the five trusses were looking good.  They will really enhance the great room!
