Not much daylight left in the roof

The framers have made good progress in the last couple of weeks.  The house is mostly dried in now.  All the roof trusses are installed and the OSB sheathing is almost completely installed.  They were moving pretty quickly while we were on site today and by the time we left they had just about reached the peak of the main roof.  They also framed the two front gables and one rear gable which is cool because now the house is actually starting to look like our design.

To give you some perspective on the scale, here's a picture of me standing in what will eventually be a large sliding glass door separating the dining room from the back deck.  Above me is the gable on the guest bedroom on the second floor.

Another perspective shot is below showing me standing in the middle of our three master bedroom windows facing the backyard.  These windows will actually be made up of large rectangular windows with square transom windows on top of them.  The rectangles will be the operable windows and will be about six feet tall from top to bottom.

We're got some family travel starting the end of next week so we probably won't be able to get back up to the job site until the end of the first week in November.  By then the windows should be at least partially installed and the interior framing should be almost complete.  We finalized our fireplace selection this week.  We went with the Heat and Glo Northstar unit for the wood burner in the great room and a slimline gas fireplace for our bedroom.

We are also close to finalizing the interior doors.  We are going to go with Sun Mountain which was one of my suppliers when I had the door shop in San Francisco.  The picture below shows roughly how our doors will look except they will not have grooves in the panel and there won't be an arch on top.
