This is how the car storage shed looked on Sunday night when I arrived. Compare this with the later photos of how it looked at the end of the week.

One of the twelve trusses assembled during the week being moved from the CRF. Fuzzy is driving the Deere and Russ and Rod controlling the ends of the truss so they don't hit anything. During Session B we will combine these into pairs for installation on top of the poles during Session C
