Raising close studded extension

With yet another king post truss design! This frame is architect and structural engineer designed, unfortunately we were unable to get chance to have much input on the frame design, hence some rather large timbers (ridge beam). Though generally the balance is quite nice, based on a 175mm sq post and traditionally proportioned studs.

The final picture here shows the frame as it stands today, yet to put the corner post in closest in shot.
