This is just a tease of what's happening, but it's the best I can do right now...

Insulation fill:
Hat Channel:

W10x77 wide flange steel:
According to the head of the framing crew, in his 20+ years of building large residential estates in North Carolina, he's never seen such large steel in any of his plans. The beam that's being welded tips the scales at nearly 2-1/2 tons...which is just about the limit of the crane that came to deliver them!
More details this weekend, when I have a chance to blog!
