Description

Major milestone: The roof trusses have arrived and been delivered to the garage slab, marking the next phase of construction readiness. The engineered trusses are bundled and positioned on the cured concrete foundation, awaiting the framing crew.

Visible Elements

  • Truss Bundle: Large bundle of engineered roof trusses stacked horizontally on the northwest section of the slab, wrapped and secured for protection
  • Concrete Slab: The 24’ x 40’ foundation pad, fully cured (19 days since pour), clean and ready for wall framing to begin
  • Vintage Vehicle: Classic red sports car (appears to be Corvette C3 era) parked in foreground, providing scale reference
  • Site Context: Late autumn setting with bare deciduous trees, residential neighborhood visible, chain-link fencing along property lines
  • Slab Details: Control joints, utility conduit stubs, and thickened lift bay areas visible in the foundation
  • Seasonal Conditions: Cloudy overcast sky, fallen leaves scattered on ground, typical mid-November Michigan landscape

Project Status Update

With trusses now onsite and framing scheduled to begin between November 24 and December 1 (confirmed by Marcus on 2025-11-13), the project transitions from foundation work to vertical construction. All materials are staged and ready for the framing crew to mobilize.

Construction Sequence Context

This delivery follows the concrete cure period (19 days since October 30 pour) and aligns with the contractor’s projected timeline. The trusses arriving ahead of the framing start window ensures no material delays when the crew arrives.
