Sill plates and some of the hurricane straps in place.
I lost all the photos of the trusses being built. I got a design from a former carter lumber worker and built them. We used 3/8" plywood plates as gussets instead of metal joining plates. Old school all the way. We cut the gussets in a day. The trusses took one week to make. I built a jig on the floor and made them all in it assuring that each truss is exactly the same. Over 10,000 nails were used...all hammered in by hand. No nail guns here.
Each truss is leaned against the wall upside down with one end hanging over the sill plate.
Then, with a rope, we pull the other leg of the truss up and over the opposite wall.
Then FLIP.
Then another hurricane strap goes up and it gets nailed and braced.
