Framing pops up quick and it costs a FORTUNE. It's the largest expense on most builds.

This builder has the walls and trusses prebuilt at a factory and brought to the jobsite on a truck. This is how they put them up so fast. Super said 10-11 days total to build garage and house.

Trusses are normally pre-built. My custom home will have pre-built trusses. It reduces the framing labor substantially. I'm sure they are saving big bucks on the pre-built walls too.

Looks awesome dude! It'll look like a structure before you know it. Like Vegas said, this is an expensive hurdle you'll be over soon.

Not bad for one week's work huh? I'm real happy with how it looks on the lot.





In this one you can see my neighbor to the West's house and RV garage...



We'll be out there on the 15th, I suppose the framers will be done packed up and left by then.

Fantastic! You oughta have a neighborhood full of hobbyists with all those shop-centric builds. That could be a very cool 'hood!

Really looking like a house and shop now...



Inside the RV garage looking at the back wall. You can see the bathroom framed in on the right corner.



The back of the house and RV garage



We'll see it in person Sunday morning... I can't wait!!
