Great progress!
Will the old, partially gone upper gable sheathing be totally removed?
Looks sleazy, even if coming roof trusses, deck, hide it.
Will east, Phase II slab be started before Phase I work is completed?

Be kind, Mr. Weather Man.

The rain stopped this morning for a couple of hours so we got a head start on installing the trusses. A third of the building was done by lunch time before the rain started back up.

Are the spacers/stableizers something you made or are they commercial in your area?

I don't know the specific product used in the car barn expansion, but similar 16" and 24" Simpson Strong-Tie TSBR truss spacer-restraints are a standard item and should be available from (or can be "ordered from") Strong-Tie dealers:

Talk about some dank weather there!   No snow in sight according to the weather forecast, although I do know you're able to keep on working rain or shine   I 'll  pray to God so he holds the snow back until the roof is laid and the walls up yet.

Looks like metal Strong Tie spacers are being used, have to be the best "bridging" available.
Is further work possible today (Wednesday)?
