Wow, went by yesterday (July 6th) and the trusses were delivered and on the ground. Went back this afternoon (July 7th) and they were up!
Now my house doesn't look so little next to my neighbors with 2 story houses. Sure lots of attic space - and - NO - not for storage! All of the outside walls and the attic area will be insulated with spray foam insulation.
ONE OF THE GREEN THINGS. It is supposed to keep the attic area from getting too hot in the summer thus making it more efficient to cool the house. It will also keep the warm air inside in the winter. This all should make my energy use and the monthly cost much less. You know, I have to make that teacher's pension stretch!.
This is the master bath that will have a tall window. Still lovin' all those angles - -
Yep, da roof is on the house! It's still not water tight since the patio doors and window are not installed yet. There's still showers every afternoon and puddles inside.
The person in the green shirt is a woman - yea woman power! Ya see, she said to the guys, "Hey, you hang over the edge with a rope around your waist and I'll sit here at the top and toss you shingles to nail in - ha!"
It's a design thing. Notice the added triangle on the roof. The architect included it to add interest. Maybe there's a second floor? Mmmmm - -
One last space to cover - - please don't fall!
