You can find lots of companies that make standard sized metal trusses that are very affordable and very cool. Check out the rest of my blog, there are some cool alternative products like plywood flooring and concrete backer board in various forms. Jason Jason. Nina,

We will have a two story celing in the living room and I was trying to come up with a unique idea to put in the celing. I love the trusses idea, I would love to use it. Regarding budget, is it resnobale price? do you have other unique ideas for around the house?

I couldn't imagine them before I saw them in place, but they look marvelous. I love that (unlike so many people working in the "modern" style) you are really serious about honest and functional design. Wow, those really are some sexy trusses.

If it is all going to be exposed, are you going to just paint the plywood deck? If so, I wish you had used a higher grade plywood so all those knots wouldn't show through on your ceiling. Otherwise, I hope you are going to skin it with something so it doesn't detract from the really lovely trusses. Trusses are great.

I'm a little jealous that I don't have the opportunity to use something like this in my addition (it's finished already). Can't wait to see what else you're going to pull out of your bag of tricks as the house goes up. That is awesome.
