DAY 1

Truss & Roofing

today we started to erect our truss roofs. first we listened to a speech which explained the do's and dont's about truss roofing. we then filled out a job sheet on what we had to do and what some potential hazards out on the site could be and how to remove or control it. then we went out to the site and set up our scaffold and started building. the first truss to go up was the t.g because that is needed to support the other trusses, once the t.g and standard girders had been screwed into place we then filled in the creeper trusses. just before time ran out we got the main trusses up and braced at each end of the roof and set a string line across the apexs so tommorow we can fill in the rest of the trusses.
