Interior framing

Interior framing and misc. Items moved along pretty slowly. Taking weeks instead of days. We took the time to make small changes to the design plan so we'd have exactly what we wanted. I should also note that with an A frame everting is an angle. It's rare you get 10 ft before you need to start fussing with details. I completed what I could for the main and lower levels and waited for a week of clear weather to cut a hole in the side of the cabin!

Our plan includes a large dormer area that caused me more than one sleepless night. I was never 100% on how I wanted to create the dormer area and support the upper floor/roof of the main structure at the same time. This is why I decided to plan for the opening with 3x trusses at the openings and come back later to frame it in. This also allowed me to get the structure dried in faster and sort the details later. Anyway, after talking to a few professional framers and calculating the loads I decided again to upsize my framing members and add an additional board to my header. The extra $100 in materials is defiantly worth it to me.

The upper floor is 2X10 framing. We ended up using 2x6 tongue and grove for subfloor for a nice effect on the ceiling from the main level. If i'd planned for this, I could have reduced my upper floor joist to 2x8.
