Brian, The framing is NOT going in the wrong direction......it is typical framing for hip truss fill in (step down)......... as you pointed out.... you simply are not familiar with this type of framing as others.........which is no big deal. The 2x4 are not supplied by the truss company.....however the installation instructions are...........which show to lay such 2x4's as the framer did in this case. This type of truss framing is called "step down hip framing" by the way. There are several acceptable ways to frame this including the one the framers employed......its quicker and provides a more accurate plane versus blocking in between..... No need to get upset.........after all.................its football season...............Go Panthers (and Steelers) regards... Jeff |
