Figured out why I was having such a hard time with the irregular hip calcs...the build calc app doesn't have an option for two different wall heights. It went together great today. All done and sheeted. Glad I had a 10.25" saw...the one bevel was 67 degrees. Saw went to 60 and then I added some ply to tip it the extra bit.

Did you guys use a beam lift? I would have likely built that one piece at a time.
No lift. One ply at a time. Get them in place and bolted then tension and install supports.

You know it was tensioned when he temp wall is a little loose after the beam install.
 
Making slow progress. A lot of manpower not on this job. Some days only 4 of us. Too much other stuff on the go at the same time. 9 working days. Plus some weekend time by myself. Probably averaging 5-5.5 guya per day.
Insides are pretty much cleaned up. 4 landings left. One unit needs a third floor still. Should of already had trusses up
 
Started an addition on the house i grew up in
That must be pretty special, i know when my grandpas old house was torn down i was hell bent on getting the framing contract for the new one (didn't happen) ;)
