Finished truss number three of five last night. I'm learning, albeit, slowly. Just changed into my work clothes and now I'm headed back outside.
My friend T, whose clutch I replaced while he handed me tools, is helping me out of an abundance of guilty conscience (and an overpowering sense of reciprocity). I intend to take full advantage of it.
Pics later.
