Photo below shows stacks of roof panels on the second floor decking...these will end up being in the way once they want to set valley beams and begin setting roof panels.
Photo below is from the front end of the main ridge beam looking towards the back of the house. I couldn't get all the way to the front due to the aforementioned stack of panels.

Below is a shot from the top of the stairs looking out to the gable end over the garage. This ridge beam is now a double but it was discovered yesterday that it needs to be a triple. The two panels in place will need to have the top screws removed, the beam moved over 3/4" of an inch, the third beam put in place and nailed off, then the panels screwed back down.

This is a shot of the one knee wall that is up. My understanding is that a structural kneewall should have a double top plate. Being that the main purpose is to keep the panel from sagging I'm not sure if that is necessary or not.



The shot below shows the lack of overhang due to the extra length/width issue from the footer being nailed at the brick line instead of the block line. What should have happened when this panel was installed is that the spline be extended past the panel to a more appropriate overhang amount. Then the overhang could be boxed out to an appropriate length. Given that overhang is not heated/cooled space it isn't necessary that all the overhang be SIP panel. This shot also shows the beveled plate at the edge of the floor decking. It is in place the whole perimeter of the second floor.


Below is another shot of the same overhang from the ground.

Below is a shot of the rear of the house. The ridge beam over the nursery/study is still to be installed. Also the OSB sheathing over the header and splines is missing.

The photo below is the front of the house where again the ridge needs to be installed.

Below is the garge end gable. Notice how the finising spline was installed on one side but not the other. Also notice in all pictures how the Tyvek is incomplete or installed prematurely.
