Thanks, Ray. That particular run is 12'4".... one of four over 12 foot. Nothing wrong with that, right?

No, no cross bracing. No collar ties, just truss bottoms that are too low to be doing any thing. Middle truss is battened vertically so I will have to remove those as we come more upright. Will be getting framing lumber delivered next week or two depending how it easily it moves.
Had to attach 2x8 to exterior walls as anchor points for through bolts.
Roof sheathing will go, some sills will go, a lot of siding will go.... Just have to see what budget will handle once I have it secured upright and structurally sound. Actually a fun project to figure out. Young couple, second house.
