Week 2 of the framing crew.
Monday Feb 17th roof trusses arriveed unexpectantly. Fortunately was a truck driver who had delivered here before and knew how to get the truck turned around.
I followed them up the hill from the boat landing
A whole load of roof trusses - just for my house!! I took a few pictures and got out of there. Didn't want to be in the middle of a "disscussion" between foreman and truck driver about timing of delivery.
They were busy putting down the subfloor and weren't expecting trusses.
My SFI certified subflooring

Snowed a bit overnight, but that didn't slow anything down.
Small square that is lower is for the master bath zero step shower.
I had to go back to Wisconsin Rapids so missed a day. In that time the main floor got mostly framed.
East corner. 3 windows on left of SE wall are master bedroom. Window closer to E end is master bath. Window on NE wall is water closet first, then shower then office.
Getting ready to place the floor trusses for the attic/loft. Green sheathing is the ZIP System I talked about in Energy Efficient Builing. It is 1-1/2 inch foam, OSB sheathing & moisture barrier all sandwiched in one panel.
Construction miscellaneous - big bolts for trusses, air hoses for nail guns. No power on site so they use a portable generator.
Looking from kitchen. Sliding door on lake side to balcony, side door to deck and then down to lake.
Looking from kitchen toward living/dining area. You can see where the big window overlooking the lake will go. The framed wall is temporary - will be a walk through.
Laundry room window.
Looking toward the SE wall of master bedroom.
Setting the floor trusses for attic.
Friday. Put subflooring on attic/loft. The idea is that I won't finish it now, but will be easy to finish in the future if someone wants to.
Open area is for stairwell that wraps around future elevator shaft. It has a floor for now and will just be a closet until that time when an elevator gets put in (it ever.)
Looking through floor trusses. I checked...they are level!!
