Truss Installation On Our Straw Bale House (Day 1)

Today we are starting the install of our parallel sloped trusses. Had some family over to help, so it turned into a day of joking and laughing, too, but we managed to figure out how to get this done with a small crew. Big thanks to Shari, Scott, and Kaden for coming out to help! We put up 6 of 18 trusses, but after that learning curve, I think we can manage the rest in one more day with 2 or 3 helpers.
This video has a little different feel than most of our others, since it just shows us working and laughing while we figure things out, rather than going through all the details of the steps. Hopefully, you like it. There will be a "Day 2" video where I'll probably lay out some more of the how-to, in case you're looking for that. Enjoy!

Pam needs a truss for the camera. Make sure it comes with a truss anchor plate as well. Great video. Congrats on the progress!

[@MidlifePrices]

Thanks, Michael. You just made me imagine a GoPro attached to one of the trusses while it was being installed! That would have been pretty cool.

[@OffGridGetAway]

Great job!

[@MidlifePrices]

Thanks, y'all!

[@TerraFirmaX]

Good clean family fun all while making progress on your build. Priceless

[@MidlifePrices]

"Price"less… I see what you did there 😉. Thanks, Warren!

[@scottmemberg]

Working under 'Brians Conditions' wasnt bad we had a blast! Ahhh family time!

[@MidlifePrices]

There's nothing like berating others to show how much you care 😉🤣!

[@RedandAprilOff-Grid]

Looking good y'all! 😄👍

[@affordabledesertliving3487]

Totally admire how Brian gets those things up there. And fun to see a young person helping out and being so valuable on the side way to go Kaden

[@scottmemberg]

@@affordabledesertliving3487 Thanks, Kaden is a trooper and loves to help out with this stuff!

[@MidlifePrices]

Thanks so much!

[@MidlifePrices]

Thanks Don! You’re so right.

[@MidlifePrices]

Thanks Scott!

[@kathrynhurn6307]

What is your truss size and where did you purchase them, please?

[@MidlifePrices]

Got them from Southwest Truss in the Sierra Vista area. They're about 32' long and about 18" tall.

looks great thanks for sharing and have a great Christmas

[@MidlifePrices]

Thanks, R G. You, too!

[@davidchristensen1219]

I think we're going to have Pam film our build. Brian, how much do you charge to rent her out for camera/color commentator services?

[@MidlifePrices]

That's a great idea, guys! I'll have to work up a "Price" list. 🤣

[@luiscuervoshow]

Where is this? What state? Looks like great fun!

[@bondpaz]

St David AZ.

[@scottmemberg]

It is truly a labor of love!

[@JV-kx9wk]

Can Pam keep her mouth shut every now and then?

[@MidlifePrices]

This could be blamed on my editing, but Pam is a very verbal person. It's part of her charm!

[@MidlifePrices]

I can. But I won’t. 😁❤️

[@AbidAli-bv2gl]

Excellent video. all trusses on

[@MidlifePrices]

Almost, Abid. Still some more to finish up in the next video. Thanks!
