More progress today up in the hills. The crane was on site yesterday and the framers boomed all of the garage roof trusses as well as some on the house itself. It got very windy and they had to shut down the crane operations but will be hopefully finishing up tomorrow afternoon. They also used the crane to lift up some of the heavy wall sections that had been framed but were too large to be hand positioned. One of these is the back wall of the great room. You can see it in the picture below. The large header above the big framed opening will support the weight of the roof table since so much of that wall will be filled in with windows. You can also see some of the trusses above the guest room on the upper floor, left side of the picture as well as above the master bedroom & bunk room on the right side.
Below is a picture taken of that same framed great room wall from inside the house standing roughly where the front entry / foyer will flow into the great room.
This next picture is taken from the front of the lot and shows what the garage looks like with the OSB on the front and shows the height of the main house relative to the garage. There's still a connector roof that needs to have the trussed set (you can see them sitting on top of the framed front mudroom wall in this picture).
This last picture shows the scissor roof truss that will define the ceiling height / shape for the vaulted area above the great room / foyer. The height is going to be about 23' above the finished floor.
