The boat-shed, part 4.

After re-assembling the 2cnd truss above the boat, I recruited a friend to lift it into place. We wrangled the ends onto the 'beams' of the shed the butted them against a board attached to the post. With some grunting we stood the truss up. 

The process was repeated for the 3rd truss, only the recruited friend was unavailable. Fortunately the Mrs. hadn't seen the last effort so she was willing to lend a hand this time.

The final truss is different from the rest.

It is designed to allow a large opening for when the restoration is complete. However, the assembly and raising process went the same as the others.

And there it is, a 16x36x18 boat shed built by a boat lover and an eight foot step ladder.
