Ok, next up, is the beginning of putting up the scaffolding, so I can work on the roof.
This section is the first 8 foot section that I put together last night. I have 6 foot long 2 x 3's holding this up. One thing to note, I originally used 1-1/4" long screws through 1/2 inch thick plywood, to hold the plywood to the truss, and was not really happy with the results.
I then switched to 2-1/2 inch long screws, which went through the plywood and completely through the 2 x under the plywood, with only a little bit sticking out. That worked much better and seemed much more solid.
So, here's the first one in place.
