Day 2 gets underway with a bang! The crew divides into teams again and begins interior framing. This must be done before the roof panels are set because some of the beams that support the roof panels are supported by interior posts.
Plates for interior walls are nailed to the floor (above left). The frame walls are assembled flat (right) then raised into position.
The living room beam is being set into the beam pocket on this gable wall (left). The other side of the beam is then lifted onto a post. This beam will support the roof panels. The frame post carries the load down to a concrete spot footing below.
These 2 brave souls (above) are attaching the beam to the post. They are standing on a make-shift platform erected for this purpose. We recommend that framing crews rent a crane or boom truck to help with the lifting and placement of the beams and roof panels. Since this house is one story and simple, this crew is doing it all with brute strength. This can be dangerous. Fortunately, this crew is experienced in erecting our panel homes.
	The interior walls for Jon's office are framed and braced (left). You are looking toward the east closets and above them in the open space will be a sleeping loft with an operable skylight.Since the panels don't need trusses, the vaulted ceilings inside can be put to good use with loft space, adding valuable sleeping, lounging or storage space. This space isn't big enough to stand up in, but you can sit comfortably and the loft will accommodate at least one queen sized mattress. A small ladder will make getting up there easier, and a railing will keep bodies from falling to earth at night.
This is a view from above (above + below) of the interior framing and the beams that will support the roof over the bedroom areas. All of the angled lumber is just to brace the structure until the roof is set.
