We are soliciting feedback on the entire design. In particular, we have 3 questions, below. Please use form above to respond.

Question 1

Should the first floor bond beam go around the entire perimeter of the house? Note that the bond beam is split between 2 house levels. Should it go all around the house on top of level 1?

Question 2

Is the mounting of rafters to the upper and lower mid truss strong enough? Currently, there is a bird's mouth connection, but the upper end of the rafter is connected only at the bird's mouth. Should the upper end of the rafter be connected at its whole face?
