	The south garage wall was built flat, then erected here. Braces held it in place until the other walls were built and erected so they could be secured to each other.
	This is the west garage wall going up. Not much wall because of the garage door. Our normal Sunlight Homes Component Package includes a frame garage since superinsulating the garage isn't a high priority for most people. In our case, we decided to put infloor radiant heat in our garage in case a future owner decides to add on.
	We are using special garage roof trusses that have a storage space built in. Since the end trusses are built normally, it' difficult to see that the rest of the trusses have an empty space in the middle for storage. We're using a pull-down ladder to access this garage storage.
	The garage is sheathed in OSB with a window and 2 skylights in the storage area above. A window on the north side of the garage will give us ventilation and help cool the garage heated by hot cars in the summer.
	The east covered porch is being framed on the east side. We plan to have a covered area under the porch then an uncovered patio space beyond. Designing this outdoor living space carefully will allow us to expand our living area outside for most of the year.
	We chose a shed roof on the porch for our new Sunlight office. The French door and south facing window will give the office a lot of day lighting.
	Can you believe it? It snowed and made for a beautiful, sparkling day over the weekend. Of course all was gone and dry for the workmen on Monday. The south garage roof (shown here) will have our PV panels installed for solar electricity.
	A view from the SE of the east porch. This roof is fairly complicated and the footprint of the home is also complex, which increases the cost to build the home, but adds interest and allows for more day lighting in all the rooms. This is a trade off which you must choose for yourself; a more complex structure or a more simple, less expensive one.
