To
remodel you need materials to make it all happen. There are several different types of
materials that need to come together to make this all happen. All of those shown here are
rough in or framing supplies.
 Trusses arrived and ended up consuming much of
our back yard. They measured 16 ft high by 32 feet wide. Many of these trusses were
room-n-attic (or bonus) trusses. In this way, they were uniquely able to house a room 13
feet wide and over 8 feet high.In retrospect, if one knew how they
were going to construct the house (meaning how all the materials would need
to come together to build the house, one might realize there was a problem
that would need to be solved). Notably, with the trusses. These room-n-attic
trusses were great and could support a lot of weight, only they cannot be
altered. If you need to run something between them, you need to get creative
and go around them, over them, between them, or below them. The later stages
of heating and air conditioning were burdened by this initial oversight.
Always think ahead before you begin selecting materials because poor
decisions selecting and buying materials will cost you dearly in the future.
 Lumber was also delivered on the day workers
were to show. Unfortunately a stack of sheathing used to cover walls and the roof broke
apart when it was dumped (literally) off the flat-bed delivery truck. This broken stack slid into
the garage door and caused the first known collateral damage (over $400 damage).Later
that morning, it was discovered that the sound of this stack of lumber hitting the cement
drive caused a loud percussion which shattered the neighbor (to the WEST) slide glass door to shatter.
The ground also shook when the lumber was dumped - luckily the cement didn't
also break. It was a pretty amazing sight.
Windows for the project were already delivered (Marvin, of course) and were stored away
in the garage (if you look closely you can see them leaning against the wall to the right
inside the garage). Luckily the delivery of the lumber didn't cause any damage to the
windows (sound or otherwise).
