Home decapitation

Yesterday, the carpenters started putting up the roof trusses.  Today, about half of the roof was covered with plywood.

A peek at the side.

Then we discussed a situation with the roof over the single story section in the back.  The walls were mistakenly framed 1 foot too high.  This was discovered when the roof trusses overlapped a window opening on the 2nd floor.  To solve the problem, the guys are going cut the roof off of the entire back part of the house, cut the walls down a foot, then put the entire roof back on.  They didn't seem to think that decapitating the house was a big deal, it might take them a day.  Thankfully the entire 10 day forecast still shows mid to upper 30s!
