Got this email a few
days ago....
"After getting the 20’ 1-1/2 story cottage plans well over a year ago. I finally got it going up. The contractor I hired was please with plans. Easy for him to understand. Will let you know more as it progresses."

Here are some photos John sent along.

Here you can see the site built trusses.
Workng the plans!
Looking up into the trusses
Corner bracing and 2x6 framing. Windows going in.
Framing and flashing in place for hip roofed porch
The front porch roof is up.
The builder has installed 4x4 posts rather than the 6x6 shown in the plans. This is not a problem of strength, but a fatter post is more "friendly" as well as having better scale. (See Here for example). 4x4 posts can be easily wrapped with 1x or 2x at a later date and that may have been the intention all along.
Bilco type door to steep stair to basement.
More to come...
