Talladega Pavilion project March, 2010: Raising





We raised the hand-cut frame using no power equipment. The walls, which weighed over 3,000 pounds each, were raised by hand, assisted by a block and tackle and pike poles. Trusses were raised by a gin pole: a 24' tall yellow pine mast guyed out and with a 5:1 block and tackle. Safe and quiet- except for the grunting, followed by shouts of joy!
