The garage is coming along! It's really exciting to see it taking shape.
On Monday, K and I worked on the garage, and we put up the sheeting on one side of the garage. I helped her put it in place and then nail it to the studs. We quit when it started raining, so I didn't get any photos-- the rain continued through the night!
Tuesday was a big day. The trusses were delivered. I was about to head out the door, when I heard the "BEEP BEEP"-ing outside and realized I couldn't get out of our alley with my car, because the trusses were being delivered at that moment.

When I got back in the early afternoon, K and her brother had the first couple trusses in place and wanted me to help. So I did-- I walked along the walls, on top of the sheeting that I had helped install and helped place the trusses where they needed to go. It was a bit nerve-wracking at first, that's for sure... But I got used to the height and moving around. The slight problem for all of us was that it was very hot and humid, and you tend to get a little dizzy when you're overheated. No one fell, though, so we're all good! And we were able to finish before it started raining. Again. (My garden is LOVING this rain every day!)

We were a sweaty, sun-burned bunch when we were done... But we got so much done that it was definitely worth it! I think my muscles will be sore in the morning, too....
