13/06/2011 putting on cyclone ties and wire dogs

today down the site, we were give instructions to use cyclones ties (C,T) to hold the trusses to the house.. we had 2 cyclone ties on both sides of the truss, and nailed it in at 4 at the top and 4 at the bottom, the cyclone ties were used to brace dow the trusses to the top plate so it wont move. then we used the wire dogs, i was marked I around the house so we would know where to put the wire dogs, first we chisel it, then we nail in the wire dogs.
