Waiting for trusses

We were hoping to get the trusses last week, but the supplier didn't have them ready.  Instead we are getting them tomorrow, only about 10 days later than we wanted.   Luckily the framers were able to work on a few other tasks to keep them busy until the trusses arrive.

The framers wrapped up all of the exterior and interior wall framing, along with double checking all of the engineering hardware and having the city sign off on the exterior nailling.    They also started prepping the ICFs for siding and framed the back deck.    This afternoon they put up the southwest corner roof post and set up scaffolding to place the beams tomorrow.

We've been keeping busy by back filling all of the deck support post footing holes, and staining and priming deck materials.   Here are some of the latest pics.
