Second floor

We have a second floor, and some roof trusses. The wife and I drove by yesterday after I got home from work. As we're approaching the house we could see a piece of the roof about to be lifted into place. We've been getting lucky at seeing some cool stuff so far.

We decided to sit and watch a little of the process. While we were sitting there we were remarking how tall the house looked. It looked as tall as the Ravenna being built across the street. This surprised us, because most of the Florence models we've seen don't look nearly as tall. The pitch of the roof looked much steeper than any Florence we have seen too. I even pulled out a picture of a Florence from a different development that has our same siding to compare. Maybe it's just an illusion, like so many things look strange during the building process. Maybe it is changed? During our pre-con the SR and PM told us there had been a few changes on the Florence. They weren't sure if ours would be getting these changes so they really didn't want to say what they were. I can kind of understand that, not wanting some change to come along and someone being ticked off that they didn't get it. Now we're thinking this might be one of the changes, we'll be asking our PM if he knows.

In the meantime, i'd like my fellow Florence bloggers to look at these pics and see what they think. Is it steeper? Is it an illusion? Am I nuts? Let me know what you think.
