Like you, my husband is a carpenter. He is bigger and stronger than I and building a new house is a large project for him. I could have all the necessary info in my head, but completing it would be impossible for me. Even Sheetrock is heavy, let alone bundles of shingles, rafters, etc.

Setting roof trusses 30' in the air for a 2.5 story house isn't for the weak or the faint-hearted.
Could be that they had the manufacturer hoist them on delivery, ditto the sheathing and shingles.

Then again, people CAN do some amazing things sometimes.
