Assuming house and garage based on some of what I’m seeing?

Progress is always great to witness!

Been a little while since I posted here.  Framing done.  Plumbers and electricians roughing in.  HVAC about to start.  That pile of stuff in front of the house is the hardi board for the board and batten siding.

Man, you sure have that roof all cut up!
To me, that is what adds a ton of appeal to the home.
Is any of that vaulted on the inside?
