Abstract: A cantilevered cross truss construction provides a load supporting structure through the interlocking of the trusses, said trusses having continuous top and bottom chord members, the bottom chord of one of which is adapted to be cut in the field, said cut truss can be positioned over the other truss forming a superior load supporting truss construction.

Abstract: A pedestal house with a cantilevered crossed truss construction forming the floor and wall supporting structure thereof has several pairs of crossed horizontally disposed truss members, each truss member has vertically spaced top and bottom cord members and interconnecting web members, one of each pair of truss members being of a greater height than the other so that one truss member of each pair passes through an opening in the other at right angles thereto. Members are located longitudinally of said other truss member of each pair so as to increase the height thereof to that of the higher truss member of the pair. This invention is distinguishable from others by reason of the pedestal house and the crossed truss members thereof forming a central area from which the ends of the truss members extend in cantilever form to form a wide stable support structure for the house on the pedestal.
