With everything ready, the trusses arrived on time. By the end of the day, most were in place.
House walls continued to be worked. For earthquake bracing, 4 brackets are installed in the guest bedroom north wall. The brackets are connected to some long "J" bolts that extend a foot into the foundation, through the mud sill, 11 1/2 inch floor panel and wall plate. The bracket is then attached to lumber inside the panel. Because of the shear strength of the foam panels, no other earthquake strapping in necessary. For the garage, there are only 4 external metal straps.
