Topped Out

The frame of the house is now complete. Layers of siding, doors and widows will be added to these ribs to complete the skin of the house. The pine branch is a tradition added to the top ridge of the house when the frame is completed. Metal strapping can also be seen applied to the wood frame. This new strapping code is intended to make the structure stronger in a wind storm.
