That dang head looks HEAVY !!!! Sure ain't not out of any pickup truck !
Agree 'mystery covering' to keep the concrete black rubber free.
Shop I used to own only had 7 trusses for the 72' (12' on center )

We built in 2019 ~ 2 X 6 walls with Fiberglass batt insulation and Rock wool in the attic. Which was National Code. Basement had to have Fiberglass batt insulation with no vapor barrier.
We are in the Great Lakes area. In a house with fiberglass one can always do repairs and add electrical circuits. I built a greenhouse a few years ago and used foam. Only to find out that ants and mice loved it!

Rockwool ( AKA Mineral Wool (( AKA Volcanic rock and metal slag)), is really neat insulation, It does not absorb any moisture, it doesn't sluff, pack, or drop down so it doesn't leave a space at the top of the walls over time, Nice and most other bugs and pests won't mess with it.
It has a higher per inch R value than fiberglass.
It's 100% fire proof!
It's super easy to work with, No itch and it cuts with a bread knife,

I would say the only downfall is the cost, but the return over time is greater than any other.

Yea I wrapped the front tires in duct tape to keep the rubber scuff marks to a minimum.
The ballast is a Old Cat Diesel head, works great for operations like this.
