I can't remember who's thread I saw it on, but using 2 2x4 spacers attached either side perpendicular to and halfway up the rafter portions of the truss. Size the spacer length for the spacing between trusses and attach blocks to the header to keep the truss within a few inches of home on the header both sides. If you then prop up the peak to above horizontal and then use the rope and pully to bring it to vertical. The spacer is then attached to the previous truss to automatically space it out. With the spacer and attaching the truss at the header at the correct spacingAttach the truss and move on to th next. You will need to lift the last few without spacers or attaching them, or you may not have enough space up on the headers.

Haha last sentence preached!
This thread is always good for that Haha!
Hope all is going good across the lake!
Lotusnut, I think you have the winner. I was thinking something along that line, but your comment is making the picture clearer in my head.
Sub, It's going ok. Lots of drizzle and rain, so not much happening with the She Shed. I've been cleaning the Hack Shack. Talk about a total mess.

Back to the ’71 CL350, in the moments when I have a couple of minutes of down time, I’ve been cleaning the chrome as best as I can. This will never get a full restoration, it’s just not worth it to me, but I will replace some of the worst pieces. I did have to replace both coils and the condenser. I haven’t been able to get the side cover off, so the points may stay for a bit.

Man, with the current price of steel I think that deserves a "you ****!" I'd love to have some more steel around for projects but there's no way I'm buying any unless I need it.

I wish you guys were closer, I have sent more steel to the scrap yard than imaginable, still have tons more, most of it galvanized, but lots of steel.

Just a little fyi, I have been seeing a lot of people starting to use hemp instead of shavings for there chickens, less dust, less respiratory issues. I wanted to make sure you knew about it!

I’m using some of that steel I got cleaned to make shelf brackets/ledges.
I made 6 brackets to store the Radio Flyer tubs on (need to make 2 more).
Then I made 3 little ones to hold up the shelf over the surface plate.
I’ve been waiting for this to happen ever since I set up my machining area. It feels good to finally have a permanent home for this stuff.

Since it is dark when I quit working for a paycheck, it’s QST. Been putzing on the CL350, went to pull the carbs off, and all the fuel lines snapped. Should I try to save them? Anyway, here’s the inside of the first carb. Cleaned everything up with spray can carb cleaner.

Stink bug???And just so you don’t think Strouty is the only one with a pet, meet Ralph. Or is it Suzy, could be Frank. I can never tell them apart.
We call them "Roberts" here, named after someone we know that is a stinky person.
I can't come up with a retort.Stink bug???

They're Box Elder bugs. These don't smell, and are either incredibly friendly, or have no fear of humans. Fortunately, most stink bugs stay away from me. And yes, I really do try to treat them like pets.

I was asking for a friend John!
Truss #2 is up. Tried to use the neighbor’s tractor to lift it up by putting 10’ of 6” channel on his pallet forks. About that,…….NO!! Came up about 3’ shy. So broke out my fixture and was able to finish the job. And fwiw, dragging a 40’ truss across the driveway by hand is not fun.

Looks like the new year is starting off well. When I set my trusses, I brought pizza, soda and beer then invited four friends.
