Friday was a very good day. We got a lot done. Two walls are up. We will get the other two walls up on Monday. Then Monday evening - we intend to set the upstairs floor and roof trusses. There will be 14 roof trusses on two foot centers.
The crane driver came to visit the site yesterday and said that a certain oak tree would have to go. The crane truck must fit between the building and the fence - so the "Woodland Resident Stump Grinder" moved into action. First we tied a rope to the 60 foot tall oak tree. Then we tied the other end to the truck. While putting tension on the rope with the truck - we cut the oak tree - then gunned the truck and pulled down the tree. It was like a field goal - we didn't touch the fence or building. Good thing it wasn't "wide right" - that often happens to Tallahassee people.
After the tree was down we quickly cut it up into little chunks. But the stump still remained. But after one hour of grinding with my trusty Praxis Stump Grinder - the truss crane will have no trouble getting in place Monday for the "big show."
At no time did Harry climb up the tree.
