Ceiling Trusses Going Up.

Got to watch them put up the trusses in the home we are building. Thought some would like to see. The builder hid the seams in the tongue and groove pine under the trusses. They used an electric hoist to get them into position. They weigh about 900 lbs.

Nice! Thanks for sharing!!
Nice, very nice,,,,,,[:)]
Todd, do I remember correctly that the beam wood came from your land,,,,,or has my mind short circuited again.
No, this wood is douglas fir from Oregon that was cut and assembled in North Carolina. My wood will be used on the outdoor posts. Windows are now installed too.
I thought you put the trusses in first, and built the ceiling and the roof on top.
Anyway, it is beautiful! Nice job!
Awesome structure Cartod...Beautiful..

WOW!!! That is just beautiful!
yes it is.[:D]
You build the ceiling and the roof first, and then put the trusses underneath it?

Yes, If you want them to be structurally supporting the architect has to have them certified and the engineering red tape is not worth it. They get around it by dropping the trusses below the supporting trusses that have already been approved.
What are you going to finish the ceiling with? Don
My guess is,The tongue and groove is it.
Looks like light fixtures are already set into it..

Yea, they put a minwax type finish of the wood before it went up.

The rich and famous.[:)] Looks goods.
The bank and a home body....[;)]
Looks good, cartod! It looks like your builder just might know what he's doing! I really like what you're doing with the different ceilings. That adds a lot of character that you just can't get with a flat sheetrock ceiling. This is the type of place that I love working on (tile and hardwood floors), unfortunately, in my area, those only come up about once every other year or so.
Keep the pictures coming!
Nice home. How is the wood doing that you stacked up in the greenhouse? Do you know its moisture level?
The meter reads around 15%. I need to get it out and stack it in the basement of the new place and put another load in the green house.
I have to echo, when is the house warming BBQ for all your GunBroker buddies?
And NOT an integral part of the support structure.
Nice... But I was unaware they're just for show...

Neither are the 5 that are in the front gables. So sorry to dissapoint you. Oh and the mill stone doesnt really grind flour either.

Oh and the mill stone doesn't really grind flour either "anymore".
FIFY cartod...
I wasn't trying to be factitious... BTW.
I honestly did not know that. A lack of structural engineering in my education I suppose.
If they're NOT for show... Please... Correct me.
Still look nice.
Sorry for being a wise * retroxler. Yes, they are all decorative or "accent" trusses. To get the look we are going for there are much better more cost effective ways than using mortise and tenon framing. Although the Amish still use this type of framing in there barns, homes today rarely use it. It is hard to insulate, and since the wood goes up green, the structure is always twisting, popping and cracking.
Thanks for the lesson... Much appreciated. [;)]
Pink is your color Cartod-[:I]
I think it makes my boobs look too big.
That's not a house. That's a frickin' mansion. Looks good though. When are you having the house warming bbq party for all your GB buddies?
