A spin around the block shows that we still are lacking for that one
section of wall, that will soon be fixed.

The
exterior walls are completely framed. On the right, our intrepid trio
is at work on another window opening.

General window opening detail can be seen here. The header is supported
by two trimmer studs. Material will be inserted between the header and
plate to transfer the weight from the trusses down through the header
to the trim studs to the foundation. The rough sill for the window is
supported by two more trim studs on the outside and a series of cripple
studs in between.

The
windows on the north side of the house. |

The filler between the header and the plate is being installed. It can
be kind of a tight fit getting the several layers of material wedged
in there. . . and then nail it in place!

The final step for framing the outside wall is installing the top plate
on the perimeter double plate and you see it going into place here.
This is where the final squaring up for the walls occurs.
