A second delivery from the log supplier arrived Friday 11/21/08. Included were the steel plates to assemble the timber trusses. These need to be grinded, primed, and painted by Monday 11/24/08. Temperatures were 20 to 30 degrees. To do this we used a wire brush on a drill motor, wiped with paint thinner, heated on a gas grill, and spray painted outside. After dark we painted with a roller inside.

There were 56 pieces weighing over 500 pounds. Transporting from the building lot to our rental house, painting and returning to the building lot was a workout.
