We framed up the floors and walls on one while waiting on trusses, we are now back working on the roof of the other.

Not my current job; I built this air conditioner surround over 30 years ago. The lattice is cedar with resorcinol adhesive at the laps. A little Abatron on the finials and it'll go through another 30 Ohio winters; longer than I will.

I love going by areas where I built houses or additions or did a large remodel, but the funniest one is just at the top of my street. I built a bump out for a shower on the second floor of a bungalow., they had short pockets to finish the exterior and it was suggested that I put roofing shingles on the sidewall to get them through the winter….. that was 40 years ago😂 I’ll try to get a picture and post it up here later because it’s still there.

When I rented a car in Dallas last month, there was a big 'ole sign on the counter saying I was responsible for hail damage to the vehicle, so put 'er inside.

Should of pushed back on that. I'd buy a ****ing car and sell it when I was done before I'd sign that.

5 weeks in on our Llano Ranch custom, sticks are going up on main house and they poured a slab for the large car port yesterday, when they have framed the main house the carpenters will frame the guest/bunk house, 5400 sq ft under roof between both houses. Starting a 4k sq ft steel building/barn soon on the same property

 

[Jaws]

Full gut remodel, new MEPs, added a bunk room over the garage. Pella Lifestyle windows, all new stucco, Boral tile roof (Architectural Committee required because of the amount of stucco, wanted 24 gage technical lock which is our go to. Be a good one, probably a 200k kitchen, looks like a 140k kitchen to me but inflation is a ***** 😆

Nice to get a renovation 👍

You can do this? Hack away most of the joist and put a "duct" through it?

It was already there we just ran new ducts, gets steel straps, there's a structural engineer on board for the steel beams and footings

It hasn't delected in 31 years fwi, I'll show pics of all the engineered steel when it's done. We took our a wall on bottom story and installed a big beam over 24 ft

I would expect it to survive because of the design of the I beam system. I've just never seen one taken out so completely and it a couple spots in one beam. If you did that to a normal joist it would have crumbled years ago. But the integrity of the 2x3s isn't broken and the stiffness of the OSB is still there in 90%+ of the I beam.

Seems to have worked.

Would they allow that now?

That would fail inspection bigtime around here.

No they wouldn't, and I've only used the I beams once for rafters, they are a chit floor system compared to 2' floor trusses with 1 1/8" tng glued and screwed

I'll post the repair when the engineer inspects

It did here too. We get a stamped letter instead of engineered drawings on remodels for this reason. When we expose defects (this house has like 12) they then specify repairs, we repair, they inspect and stamp an approval letter for the city - if it passes. New homes we engineer drawings

That's not even that bad around here, I've seen some jacked up hack work done by diyers 50 years ago lol

Failed inspection in my eyes too. Hence the question. But look how it survived.
