Stacks
of kitchen trusses in the background
with a larger truss for the main house laid out
ready for construction.

Moving the trusses over from the
construction barn to the construction site.

Kitchen
trusses leaning on the storage pod and the larger main house trusses stacked in the field
behind. |
 |
These large
trusses are for the main house.

Ozzyy, one of our site
security dogs,
checks out the stacks of
trusses. He was trained in truss
quality control. Seen here
applying control barks to keep
the trusses in line.

Front-end truss detail.

 |
Engineered floor panels make for
faster construction and floors that are strong and straight.
|
 |
The flooring is almost finished.
|
 |
Construction of the walls can now
begin. This shows the walls on the south side and the west
side of the main house.
|
 |
The east wall of the main house. The opening in the middle
connects to the entranceway
which then connects into the
kitchen.
|
 |
This is
looking at the main house from
the mudroom floor, past the
kitchen floor. On the extreme
left, there is a little bit of
the kitchen south wall.
|
 |
Most of the walls are up by now. This is the kitchen southeast corner.
Only the lower part of the south wall is done. |
 |
This is the entranceway seen from the great room through to the
mud room in the distance.
|
 |
This is the south wall of the kitchen. |
 |
This is the north wall of the bedroom, with overhead beams ready for a second floor,
should the clients' needs change and they decide to add another
story.
|
 |
Some joinery detail. This is from the entranceway to the great room.
Below is more detail on another wall.
|
 |
We used a crane to maneuver the trusses
and lower them into place for the roofing crew.

mudroom. |

A view of the truss work and beams
in the main house from the kitchen. |
 |
Willie, Ely, and Elam work to secure
the trusses. |
 |
Being sure-footed is a good quality for this job. These men are that, and very skilled. Our team set all the trusses in under 3 hours! |
 |
The roof is on, except
for the shingles. But before the shingles go on, we need to
think about our chimneys from the stoves and waterproof the roof escapes, etc. So the roof will look like this awhile while we work inside.

 |
Brand new shiny
roof, looking good! |
