It wasn’t that I was holding my breath as the first Poche_Truss was erected, after all there had been a line of folks giving it the thumbs up. It was more a suspension of breath. THIS is how we break through into new territory, we do it by not breaking at all but rather by walking through the familiar front door, but with new information.
Trusses were delivered Wednesday and installation took around 8-10 hours. We have the proof of concept build!
19’x36′ ADU in a backyard: 19 trusses, 8-10 hours to frame the whole house… truss cost (minus framed headers, trimmers, and end walls) $5,730.
The thinking was always that we slip into the existing truss process, familiar, easy, cost effective, except that now we were framing EVERYTHING. It wasn’t hard, there were small learning moments, and it was so poetic! Kudos to Josh Mitchell and his team, they were brilliant.
