Re: new construction (yet unnamed)
Now for the easy part!
This is what 10k gets you.
Craigslist Score- came out of a School in Western Wa. The demo guy even delivered, They are oversized, I will plane the faces that are exposed, saved serious money over new. $$$$$$
Sill plates going down.
String lining at cutting every stud to get a perfect top plate.
Mezzanine wall framing.

Cutting back the existing roof so it aligns with the shop wall. You like my temp shoring?
Roof cut back sliding truss back into place.
Framed this beast flat with the sill plate on the concrete, the horizontal 2x supported the wall while built, squared and sheeted, it was a ****** to stand up, put in place with the excavator.
Just like that
Placing the beams with some heavy equipment.
These are big beams.
The 2x is a ledger the trusses bear on.
Working our way out.
All Beams set!

Throwing down the floor. From these photos it appears Zack is the only one working....haha i assure you i was right there as well. there was mostly just the two of us framing this, somebody need to take the photos.

Walls going up, I framed through the headers, not sure what size windows will go in yet, probably whatever is left over from one of my work projects.

Re: new construction (yet unnamed)
Truss time! no help this day. This was exciting to try and get these secured by myself, other than the truck driver.
These trusses are designed to 154# snow load, they are heavy.
Just over $12k for this delivery.
Scissor trusses for the future living room and hang out 6' for the covered porch.
a couple of toenails in the heels to the wall, a brace on each side then shimmey up the bundle to unhook the chains.
Attic in the truss.
Strategically setting the trusses to make it easier to roll later.

Re: new construction (yet unnamed)
And more truss photos. We used some scaffold and planks to be able to work the trusses into place.
you can see the overhngs for the covered porch across the front.
Break at the lake.
The 2x on top the trusses on both sides allowed two of us to keep these heavy things vertical while we moved them.
This 2x goes from the trusses already installed to the bundles of trusses, we would peel off one truss and slide it into place,,,,,ez peasy.
