Decking the Roof

Now that the trusses are set (most of them), started the decking on the roof.  I bought 300 sheets of OSB hoping it will be more than enough but they sure do start disappearing quick on that massive open space.

At this point, we are about 1-2 weeks behind schedule and that is primarily because the framer has multiple jobs going .... and one of those is for a job I recommended him for.  When we were discussing prices and duration before giving him the nod, he said they would frame it in four weeks which was two weeks better than the other guys.  Well, it will probably take him 4 weeks on being onsite but it will take 6-8 weeks of actual time based on the rate we're going.  That aside, really like him and he is doing great work.

Looking up to the garage ceiling.  We didn't put any post/beams in the garage, just clear span of trusses so the garage appears so massive.  I will finally be able to park my truck inside.


 Above the dining room looking over to the kitchen/family room area.

The front of house seems to go on forever .... although J&Bs house that will be built 10 ac behind us is actually 26' longer.  Crazy


 The cut out will be where the gable roof covering the deck will be


Same shot, other side.

Sunset; hanging out on top of the house, nothing better :-)
