First Fascia

Mike was busy!  We have some pretty fascia up and sheeting on back porch roof by our bedroom.  That corner of the house is starting to look a bit more civilized.  🙂

Framing Week 6 Day 5

The house is starting to look a bit like a porcupine.  They set trusses above Maya's room and along the front of the house.  They finished adding the overhang on the left and right sides.  And the big change is Viv's room.  They started framing her walls and ceiling.  Her ceiling doesn't have trusses...the vault has to be hand-framed.  Really fun to see her funky ceiling come together.

Framing Week 6 Day 4

The trusses are up over the garage bay, nook, and along the back porch.  They are adding ends to create the overhang on the south side of the house.  More interior sheeting went up, and the window wall in Viv's room is in.  Busy day!

On the far left you can see the ends they are adding to create an overhang.  On the far right the garage storage trusses are up over the 3rd bay.

Nook and pantry trusses, and back patio trusses too.

Viv's bedroom window wall is the triangular topped wall on the upper left.

Covered patio outside the kitchen and dining rooms.

Study and entry closet wall has been sheeted.  Now we can tell what the hallway feels like.

Hallway heading to our bedroom was sheeted too. 

Framing Week 6 Day 3

They didn't waste any time fanning out the trusses over our bedroom and bathroom this afternoon.  Many of the trusses that arrived today will need further assembly because they would have been too tall or too long to transport whole.  So there are piles of peaks and ends placed all over.  It's hard to capture the crazy web of lumber on top of the house and within the 2nd floor.  Our roof is fairly complicated and the builder said this part is going to take a while.  But we're excited to see the house take shape!

Missing peaks and tails on the back, but they're up!

The bedroom wall above is mostly sheeted now.

Primary bedroom trusses

These trusses in the great room will be parked for a while.  We're waiting on an interior ridge beam to arrive.

Bracing and truss webs above.  It's busy up there.

Truss Delivery

We saw trusses swinging through the air.  We watched the main framer scrape ice off the top plate, then walk around on top of the icy wall like it's no big deal.  We delivered dessert to the crew.  It was a good morning.
