[QUOTE="LightBnDr, post: 727372, member: 9031"] Absolutely the challenges are unreal most of the time. I really like those large sill windows. It makes for really nice trim out during finish and keeps you from sheet rocking that area, not having to texture and round corners. Looks super clean. Yes, setting windows was such an ordeal for me. I have 5 clerestory windows, all very small up high but I had roof to stand on. The biggest challenge during windows for me was I had a pair of guys who had no clue what they were doing. So I had to flash and set more than half of mine. They blew nails right through the flange instead of the pre drilled holes. Broke every flange they did that to. Yeah I remember engineering LVL locations too. I don't have a very complex floor plan, relatively speaking like yours. I don't have any aggressive roof pitch or line changes. I do remember however my framers ending 6 rafter tails at an LVL with less than an inch of rafter touching. I caught it and we made 6 large rafter ties to properly support that ridge that came across that section. CRAZY!! Hey man, you're doing great. Good to see your pics and progress. I love it. Keep it up. What did you decide on insulation choice?? [/QUOTE]
