January 30, 2020. Two big semi tractors with flatbed trailers arrived from Wisconsin Building Supply, Green Bay, with the framing material.

Big flatbeds - how to turn around??? Putting chains on tractorOops - a bit too tight a turn.That's better!The last time a big truck delivered materials, he backed all the way down the hill and turned around at the boat landing. This day the hill was very slippery and that would have been a catastrophe

One successful turn around, one more to go.Dimensional lumber: 2x6 and 2x10s. From Canada.The "ZIP" system sheathing. Foam insulation, OSB and house wrap all in one.

Friday, January 31, the floor trusses arrived. I wasn't there to see the truck turn around but he must have been succsessful!! The trusses are manufactured in Green Bay by Wisconsin Building Supply and there are a total of 12 different lengths & heights. I am curious to see where each goes. I was told that the design of the house makes for a bit of a challenge for the trusses and we are using several interior basement walls for support. If you go back to the "More Foundation" blog, you can see where extra footings were poured for the load bearing walls.
