Yep, no load bearing walls. I'm thinking that we'll have open ceilings in the front half of the house. Exposed, boxed trusses, with planking at the roof. It cost me about 25% more to build this way than conventional stick-framed. My brother Doug is a licensed Master carpenter and he carries a Contractors liscense in Michigan and Florida. We had a couple of arguments. He wanted to build it ourselves, stick style. Said we could save a ton of money, but I wanted this style.
