You may have noticed from the progress photos that the roof trusses were suddenly on top of the house. This is because the trusses were built ahead of time. I worked with a couple of the Haitians to get this done. When the Kay was ready we threw them up in a matter of minutes. Also, a decorative truss is made for every Kay. The owner wanted to see the mountains, the sun, and some animals. I was excited to work on this part of the project so Curt gave this task to me. The animals were challenging, and with some help from the Haitians and Jack we pulled it all together.
The Kay also had a metal roof installed which went up quickly. Then, while some finally details were addressed on the Kay, we all worked on getting some furniture built from the scraps left over. Gary asked if we could make a bed. Fortunately, we had enough 2-by material to make a 4 foot by 7 foot bed. This was huge for Gary because most Haitians sleep on the ground. The bed could also be used for sitting or even dining.
