Day 51 - Framing just about complete
The house is now looking much more complete. Perhaps I should have thought to put in a pool over the rear of the house, certainly enough room, just need to win tattslotto to pay for it.
One surprise was that when we agreed to pay to lower the ceiling to accommodate the ducting in the rear, it was inclusive of getting all the bulkheads lowered as well, the effect being that it looks like you need to duck when you walk down the hall to the rear. Now when I looked at the plan, it states that bulkheads are denoted by shading using little dots, I assumed the lack of said dots would indicate no bulkhead, but apparently wrong again. At any rate CG will fix the non-dotted bulkhead for free, but as the kitchen bulkhead needs to go back to the originally agreed height, we need to pay to get the plans fixed. Slightly annoying, but I am now getting even better at understanding what to look out for.

Day 49 - Roof trusses arrive and go up
We now have the skeleton of a house, balcony is almost complete, steel frames seem complete, rear trusses are up, main house trusses are up and as of last night we are only missing the trusses over the master bedroom and the garage.
Drive by in the morning on the way to work of the trusses being delivered, most of which were installed by the time I had a look in on my way home from work (below)
This is a view of the flat roof trusses from the dining room, and the balcony trusses behind over the kitchen
Getting dark early, but this is the roof trusses over the rear balcony.
