What did you make today?

All lumber cut. 18 more gussets to cut, already have a template. Need to buy a couple gallons of glue. Maybe another fifty pounds of nails. Then, making. And moving, they're a big awkward double handful. Then I have to get them onto the roof. Square and plumb. No ridge board, just purlins. Not really sure how I'll connect them to the roof. Will probably need to make a bird's mouth cut to seat the truss onto the "wall".

It's coming together!
