Started framing today.

 

Looks like a 0 barrier home.

Yup. A little slower to frame the deck but it's nice to not have any steps anywhere. Not an old couple but they have older family they want to make sure have easy access when they come over.

How was the reverse brickledge for you? The last 0 barrier home we did, a couple months ago, was junk. The concrete guys used foam in the forms to create the ledge and it floated all over. We spent a few hours cutting it level and fitting the ledger. Did you skip the rim board on the ledger? A lot of floor engineers spec the rim, or call for bridging even though the floor sheething is fastened to the foundation plate a few inches away.

Superb work as usual:thumbsup: That's great you can get away with out the handrail. Our codes are crazy here. Anything over 16" has to have one.

 

Just received this from my home owner.

Is that curve in front based on some existing contour or just to add interest to the edge?

 

Those little 1,400sf homes and they went up to 3,800sf.. Framed those roofs for years and years,, hundreds and hundreds of them.. I do know you you are the very best:whistling I know you could finish the upper and lowers in 2 or 3 days but me and the other DWB were dam fast at it.:blink:

 

What are those 3 white dots on the front side?

 

Recessed lights. And yes I'm done. Railing done by others.

Going in tomorrow to tighten up this kitchen. Pulls, adjust doors and some finish caulking. Finish up the exhaust hood. The counter tops should be on Monday.

 

Looks great.

I squeezed in a kitchen backsplash this weekend. I had told the customer I couldn't be there until November so she was very happy. Hopefully I'll find time to get the rangehood in soon.

 

What say you fine folks...angle supports splitting the intersection or starting at the intersection of the center support?

 

I think splitting the intersection.


Mike

 

I vote splitting

That portico needs a barrel

 

It didn't have a barrel before but I had this circle top opening. I did it because it matched the front door glass. That's all changing now and I am going to build a cedar timber truss. Here is the before without the SketchUp overlay. On just the porch I am ditching the hip returns in favor of boxed eaves. The other returns on the house will stay.

 

I like the 2nd option, starting at the intersection.

 

It matters not at all———it’s your home and it will never get done......

(2nd)

This has to get done..roof and stucco scheduled. Spent Sunday processing the timbers. Saved these 4x8x12' timbers from a job 10 plus years ago. Couldn't bring myself to throw them away.

 

Splitting, if only because that will be harder. :laughing:

 

I likey the first one. Will you use powder coated black metal on it?

 

Splitting the intersection looks right to me.

 

It would look good with this metal on it.

The second one looks more like a sunburst. Not a feature that’s really in style right now.

 

A barrel with hip returns fit the house IMOP

If I had to pick a timber detail I would split the intersection

 

All shimmed, shaved, and blocked. Started putting down subfloor after lunch.

 

Nice. Dam look at all that space.

Wrapped this last week. I think. Been so busy I can't remember what deck I'm on anymore.

We usually use 3/4" ipe for Base but the walls had 1" + waves. Went with 2*4 boral bevel 45 edge and painted.

Walls are Hardie panels on 1*3 fering strips. Installed in proper rain scream style

Finally back to the old save a lot to install the edge metal....

Before....

After....

 

This was a nice one to start the week, planned 3 days and was out by 1 today (2.5 days). I think I could've wrapped it up in 2, but my wife wasn't feeling well Monday/ Tuesday

Ripped out the old rod and shelf in the 3 master closets, fresh coat of paint, and lots more storage.

I might have to start marketing these, went very smooth except for one wall that I had to trim the shelves 3/8 (quality trapezoidal framing)
