The slide show repeats
... but you've seen everything there is.
The general contractor must have set a record for framing a one-story house. Most of the framing, floor trusses, and roof trusses were fabricated off-site and delivered on flat-bed trailers. The framing was erected on the bare foundation in about 20 working hours over January 13-14, 2009.
