The Trusses are Installed - The Frame is Complete





We had a very busy day. The crane came around 1 PM - and one by one - they lifted the 13 trusses in place. The trusses make up the upstairs floor - walls - roof - all in one sweep. The roof will be covered with 3/4 inch thick plywood. The upstairs floor will also be tongue and groove 3/4 inch plywood.

The large 8 x 7 door will be a set of pockets door. The pocket doors will have regular windows in them so that when the doors are closed - it looks like a window wall. Above the 8 x 7 door will be a 4 x 10 balcony with a 6 foot French door. The two large doors face the lake.
