Fascinating process...after the 2 units were set, the next step was to start "raising the roof". The workers cranked up the boom box, started doing a Jamacian dance and someone got out the "limbo" pole.
Or, the crane lifted the first piece of hinged roof in place, and the workers, instead of dancing, started nailing the "knee wall" in place, as you see in the picture. Notice on the top of the raised roof, that the "peak" is still hinged back, and will lift into place when the roof is almost finished.
Here you see the last of 3 wall pieces for the "gable" end. The 2 triangles round out the corners, and the hexagon forms the middle. Wonder of wonders, it all fit!
It was a HOT HOT day, those guys worked their butts off. We sat in the shade and watched. At least we offered them lunch, which probably doesn't happen at every job.
