the trusses have risen!

Ok, friends: we got some great progress made on bootsy star today! We put up the five trusses for the roof. I realize it doesn't sound like a ton of work....but it was! Those things are super tall, and not easy to move around. Our dear friend Lauren came over and helped us, and brought along her dog Nate for a play date with Penny and Hunter. We finished just as it turned dark (6pm!) Here is how the day went:
