This is the exciting part. The barn is really taking its final form with the addition of the roof trusses. The trusses were so tall that they could not ship them in one piece and so have the top triangle (not yet installed) as a separate part. Here you can see the outriggers that will form the eves having been placed.
The office is almost completely framed, even the skylight holes are in. The only thing missing is the decking over the bathroom ceiling.
Here is the end wall of the barn with the cutout for the diamond peak window. This was quite a problem. The truss manufacturer designed a truss for the end wall that would not properly accommodate the window. They want to just slap the window over the truss so you would see the truss's metal webbing right in the window. They were forced to abandon the truss and frame the wall. This was a difficult project due to the rain and the height. They ended up building a platform at the top sill height from which to put their 12' ladder on to reach. But I got my window. We will just slap the peak window outside the truss on the other side where it can't be seen as well.
The roof trusses from the inside.
The inside of the office looking back at the door.
The office bathroom sans ceiling decking. Some plywood up there will allow us to use it for storage.
The carport is almost done framing except for the final posts. The ones shown are temporary awaiting the concrete supports for the real ones to be installed upon.
Going back in time, here is the office before the trusses where covered.
And an earlier picture with the sunset over the whole project.
Carport framing was just starting here.
