Well I decided to start on my Trophy/ Den,

 I have taking some nice fish in the last two year in the fishing challenge I thou I need a trophy room, add to my house if my house was not big as it is, It will have a 12x20 added to it,

At the same time I thou I would add a enter to the basement and bring the house up $$ because it can have a place in the down stair that will be able to rent, Make resale more desirable for new buyer some day,

Here a  Before  :Photography: and to wear i am at now,

 :coffee: You didn't double up on your top plate (2x4') You are bearing all your truss weight on a single 2x4 Actually you are suppose to double up all your top plates. At the very least you should run a stud under the plate wear the truss rest to help carry the load. Not code but at least it won't bow down the road.

Good catch bobby, and while we are picking at wildes building, I might add a couple things.  Studds are usually 16 inch on center regardless of window placement.  I also don't see a headder over the windows.
