We transformed this formerly ordinary living room by vaulting the previously flat ceiling with site built timber trusses. A new 12 foot sliding glass door and four operable skylights with remote shades fills the room with natural light. Before, the deep porch overhangs on both sides of this room made for a very dark and claustrophobic space. We are accustomed to building this type of truss in a shop and placing them with a crane. Because we had to work beneath the existing roof they had to be assembled in place, piece by piece - a real challenge.
