Trusses Arrived

The framers had to shovel a couple inches of snow off the floor boards but they were putting up the walls on the north house today.

At the entrance to the driveway were piles of trusses that will be added to both houses, including their garages.

I asked if they lost materials when so much snow fell and the carpenter said, "Yeah, we'll probably find some things when the snow melts."  

Looking around, I could see that this was possible but what I meant was: Are some boards damaged enough by snow and rain to render them unusable?

He explained that, in general, the wood could withstand a lot of moisture and would be alright but if they got saturated and then froze, that could pull wood fibers apart.

With the trusses on the lot, it looks like the roof will be up soon. However, there is a winter storm warning again this evening! I think I'll go back this afternoon and shovel out the floors of my house.
