ridge beam and missing valley's

Hey look..ridge beams! Unfortunately, the beams for the valley's aren't on site. Chances are the truss company is going to say they sent them or that it part of their package. Then the hardware company will say that it should have been in the truss company package or that the mexican crew stole them off the site. Bottom line...it doesn't matter (as long as I only get charged once)...I just need my LVL's for my valley's so we can put on roof panels.
The crew says they are going to work Memorial Day. They have plenty to do.
1. Fix the header at the back of the house.
2. Install the gable end panels at the back of the house.
3. Build the knee walls to support the roof panels.
4. Install the base support for the roof panels.
5. Install the roof panels at the back of the house.
6. Remove unnecessary internal bracing.
7. Install missing joist hanger.
What we can't do is install roof panels, because we still won't have the LVL's for the valley's because the hardware store will be closed on Monday. Maybe its for the best as Louie from FischerSIPS can swing by on Tuesday to give a little support to the crew as they lay the first roof panels.

Look at all that wood underneath the ridge beam! Now that's support...cross your heart for eighteen hours!

Check out all the temporary support under the ridge beams.
