I have been working on this thing for a week now. Just me and another guy. I have been too busy to spend much time here.
But I did want to show you how I do stuff.If you see anything wrong, let me know.

Looking good, I like the trusses you're using - gets a little useable space above the joists.

It's just boring and SSDD. It needs a roller coaster built in.:jester:

I've always wanted to build a building like that into a hill. Then you can drive around back and unload your truck directly into the second floor.

I would still put a door in the front and that way you could unload some 20' gutter sections, etc. directly into the attic.

Nice job....

So whatcha been doing in the afternoons?.... :whistling:laughing::laughing:

Is it common practice to run the soffit / fascia before the trusses are set?

I was thinking that seems unique.......to me.....

He must have a good truss guy,

No kidding. Then again it's probably a safe enough gamble on a double gable.

I did a garage that had similar "built in loft" trusses. The verticals that formed the walls for the loft had a 3-1/2" variance in them planing out. Had the shrink the width of the loft and fur out the verticals with 2x8's.

I would do that too, given the chance. You tell the truss guy you want 14 1/2" tails (for example) and they cut them at that, or you cut them off the stack yourself. Trust but verify. Not as easy as soffits with stick-built, but still better than doing OH off scaffolding. Walls are stiffer and straighter, too.

 

[Golden view]

One thing wrong. You didn't zoom the camera in or walk close enough! :jester:

 

[knucklehead]

I guess that soffit and facia deal would depend on the situation. This one being simple, we are cutting the tail on the ground.

Now yesterday afternoon, I mowed my grass, hopefully for the last time this year. I have two weeks to get this garage done so I may go to the tavern this afternoon.:whistling

Tavern or not today KH?:laughing:

 

[knucklehead]

I did all that loft that I could today and sheeted part of the roof to hold things together for now.
Tomorrow I plan on siding the end gable and installing it. to get it ready for shingles

Tavern or not today KH?:laughing:

No, I was too busy.
