Hey Jersey Guys.

K2

I was on another forum and the term "liner" came up for trimmer/ jack. Is that term still used?? I think I've asked about Lally columns, flitch plates, 5/4, and taylor ham. I can't remember anyone mentioning liners. Almost 30 years since I framed in Passaic County and a few others. I finally lost my jersey accent but I think it could come back if I got in a argument.

Rob,

Maybe it was me on another forum because I always say liners and no one knows what I mean. Now I'll say trimmers/liners. It must be a Jersey thing.

Something like Canadian Bacon but better. My Mom sends me some when I feel homesick. Goes on a Hard Roll but you can't get really good hard rolls out here either.

See, now that I believe. I thought it was going to be a Jersey name for a structural part of a house.

I've always called them Liners until I started coming onto forums four years ago. I always use the term jacks for the under the window sills.

What do you guys call the overhangs on a gable end? I called them "Fly Rafters" and used to call them "Flying Gables".

You know what I here most Homeowners and quite a few contractors call for flat ceiling joists......they call them "Ceiling Rafters".

Hey Joe. 20+ years ago Subs changed to Grinders somewhere in Connecticut. Do you still have Grinders? Down in Philly they were called Hoagies. There might have been some slight changes.

K2

Barge rafter or Barges is the correct term.lol.

jmic

Joe,
Overhangs on gables I always called them " Barge Rafters ". The studs under window sills we called " cripples "

Yes any blocking running in between studs, joists, rafters I'd refer to as "Cats"
