Abstract:

A building system utilizes a combined roof/wall truss construction where each truss is made in a single U-shaped unit having spaced-apart wall truss subsystems interconnected with a roof truss subsystem. The trusses then are set up with the lowermost ends of the wall trusses resting on and attached to the foundation or building floor slab. The trusses are spaced apart at 32" intervals and are held in a vertical orientation by means of standard sheathing for the walls and roof. Window and door openings are formed in the spaces between the adjacent wall truss subsystems, and the depth of the wall truss subsystems is selected to provide space for built-in cabinets, closets, and unique window treatments.
