Claim 14:
15. The method of claim 14, comprising:
moving the plurality of first fastener devices along the length of the assembly conveyor and applying the plurality of fasteners in a first predetermined fastener pattern to attach the inner layer and the trusses together after the inner layer has been moved into the substantially vertical position against the lateral edges of the trusses by the plurality of first brackets; and
moving the plurality of first fastener devices along the length of the assembly conveyor and applying the plurality of fasteners in a second predetermined fastener pattern to attach the outer layer and the inner layer together after the outer layer has been moved into the substantially vertical position against the inner layer by the plurality of second brackets;
wherein the first predetermined fastener pattern is different from, and does not overlap with, the second predetermined fastener pattern along the length of the assembly conveyor;
wherein the plurality of first brackets and the plurality of second brackets are each connected to one of a plurality of independently controlled actuators that move the plurality of first brackets and the plurality of second brackets between respective retracted and deployed positions;
the inner layer and the outer layer are each pieced together from a plurality of pieces of dimensional lumber, each of which have a length that is less than a length of the joists; and
joints, which are defined as being where ends of dimensional pieces of lumber in a same layer of dimensional lumber, are positionally staggered and/or offset along the length of the assembly conveyor so that no joints in the inner layer are coincident with any joints in the outer layer.
