Framing

The foundation and rough floor were completed in early October.  Later in the month the weather turned wet and cold as framing started.  The goal was to be weather tight and have the finish roof on before the snow came.   Extra time was taken during truss design to make sure the truss contact points aligned with the weight bearing walls and would meet snow load engineering specs.   This was a collaborative effort that included designer Jay, builder Tim, engineer Fred Cooley, and Louws truss fabrication.  For the most part we made our schedule including having the trusses delivered before the snow came.  Ice guard was applied to the roof deck before the snow came, but Tim's crew did have to shovel snow and manage the technical challenges of getting metal roll forming equipment on site for the finish roof.  In the end--it worked out just fine.
