Framimg Week 8 Day 1

They finished the front porch framing and set many more trusses upstairs.  
 
We learned the ridge beam for the living room is coming this week (earlier than expected), along with the crane truck so they can lift it into place.   
 
We had to decide on the living room fireplace mantel dimensions today so they can frame in support at the right height.    Homework over the weekend included finding a photo of a front door we like.  He's planning ahead for the day when we can seal it up and start to dry it out.  
 
Lots of final framing decisions each day as we get closer to being finished with the structure.
