It has been about a week since the last post. I had some troubles storing images as I ran out of room on the comcast account I was using. I spent some time moving stuff around, and I am ok for a while now.
The additional floor truss was installed and a wall was framed on top of it. We will now have an interior wall about 11" thick, where one 5 1/2" would do. The floor space was lost in the sitting area of our new master bedroom.
About 1/2 of the OSB sheets are installed on the roof. There was some had framing to be done on the hips to connect the differing slopes that slowed the whole process down. Additionally, Rob became sick over the weekend and hasn't been able to help.
Today (Wed.) is a washout due to rain. Luckily that 1/2 that is sheeted is also covered by a layer of felt, so we should be ok with the rain. I helped re-tarp last night until about 6pm.
I have installed about 3/4 of the rafter clips that are used to connect the top plate to the roof trusses.
More pics in a while - images of tarps do not tell the story.
