Trusses have arrived and are unpacked. These cover the mechanical space and the bedrooms. A complex and interesting design while still being cost effective. Note the flat plates – these are the connector plates that make the trusses much more affordable AND strong. According to the wiki page on the inventor of this technology, houses built in Florida with these connectors were much more likely to have survived Hurricane Andrew. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin_Jureit
