I notice that your sidewalls and diagonals are 2 x 4's. How did you get your insulation in there? Furring? Also, how did this pencil vs. stick framing? Thanks.
@jarchitect Only the bottom chord is insulated at this time. The use for this area is undetermined future space, I would like another bedroom up there. What do you mean by pencil(?) vs stick framing.

Also, do you plan to use the area as living space, or as an attic?

Nice. I ask because I'm a truss designer in NJ for a large component manufacturer.
