Day 46: Roof Truss Delivered & Wall Bracing Up

Hi friends,

The roof trusses were delivered and some are put on top of the wall frame and others on the ground waiting to be put up. However we could be waiting for a while because due to the design of the house and garage we need the brickies to brick up the left side wall of the garage to provide structural support for the trusses. Now I'm not sure if putting the trusses on the dirt is a good idea especially when some showers are predicted tomorrow. In addition, the chippies completed the wall framing and bracing. Not sure if this is another error but on the plan it states Common Studs - 90 x 45 F5 @ 450mm cts, common studs I assume are the vertical timbers space evenly between the bottom plate and top plate. When I measured the distance between each stud it is at 600mm cts, if I'm correct than it is another item to be fixed.
