ABSTRACT:
A unique truss is provided for constructing the upper level of a dwelling in which a predetermined number of trusses are aligned in a parallel but spaced apart relationship to each other. The truss comprises an elongated floor joist having an outer wall framing member extending upwardly from each of its ends so that the outer wall framing members are parallel to each other. A peaked roof support then extends between and is secured to the upper end of the outer wall framing members. A horizontally extending ceiling member is then secured to the roof support at a position intermediate its ends so that the ceiling member is spaced upwardly from the floor joist by a distance equal to a conventional room height. At least one inner wall member is then secured between the floor joist and the roof support at a position spaced inwardly from the outer wall framing member. The floor joist are then supported at their outer periphery by the walls of a lower foundation whereupon the trusses together form the entire frame for the upper level of the dwelling.
