Roof Trusses

Yesterday saw the installation of the roof trusses for the main structure of the house. The full mass of the "Jetson Wing" (as Christy calls it) can be seen below. The angled wall and the front wall at the stairs haven't been built and the trusses are being supported on the internal wall and the south exterior wall. From this perspective it looks like the roof is floating but that will change - hopefully by the end of day Monday.

Tha garage hasn't been built yet and this will alter the look of the property yet again. It will be built in the same location of the old garage but instead of a flat roof at the front there will be a gambrel (barn style) roof at the front portion. There will also be a roof deck patio above the main roof.

Below is a close up of the roof trusses as they float. It is hard to see but the foremost truss is a cathedral ceiling and will be 23'-0" above the stair starting point on the main level.

This final image shows the massing of the house from the back NE corner of the yard. From here it looks like the front trusses are floating.
