Nobody stick builds roof trusses anymore, unless you are building a small garage. On custom homes, walls are built, truss company comes out and measures, go back to factory plug in measurements/specs into a CAD computer program which spits out prints of trusses. They then build trusses and ship to building site on semis. Unloaded with a crane.

Geez, what's that king post holding up, the whole second floor?
Any pocket doors in the house? If I were building a big house I'd want pocket doors on major passageways. I though about back fitting mine, but 2x4 framing isn't conducive and the walls would have to be pulled out and re-framed. "Nope, not in a finished and decorated room."

Hanging on a track to slide to the side, I guess. No pocket there.

Pocket doors are fantastic but I would be reluctant to use today's cheap hardware.
You can find good stuff but you have to look and it isn't the big box stores. Worth |

In Miami dade county we require a screw stop plate agin the areas that romex (when no rigid conduit is required as is in dade co.) is used to prevent that errant long drywall screw from embedding into hot wire and causing short / fire someday.Along with that practice are fire stops(horizontal studs,stud to stud,)to prevent fire escaping to roof cavity.
