Wow! When I think water damage in relation to wood, I picture discoloration, rot, nastiness. That pic looked like pure smash down. Either way, good thing their getting on it. Hopefully not too little, too late.

 

Some of them are like that. Most of the damaged ones are soft and look like they've had water in them. Either way the top chords are getting lagged to treated 6x6s posted down to the foundation.

Went vertical on Summit Dprings Barndo. 19' walls, 1k sq ft mezzanine apartment with second story veranda. Holding up 3 weeks or so on framing to see if I can get better lumber pricing. I make them reprice every three days, they didn't respond last time and I said if they wanted I could cancel my account, answer the email. They are holding on to old pricing on the dimensional lumber as long as possible

Not the biggest or sexist house for us but it's my favorite right now, the people are great people and have designed this house and dreamed about it for 30 years. Every price increase has hit them. Feel terrible for them, I ate some but I can't eat it all, labor increases alone are killing me on it

going into Austintown get the mastic and membran and pipe to make a French drain and water proof thst stem wall like we did on this custom I put pics of. Large course rock below foundation level, pipes, washed gravel to just below foundation level, pipe, then fill to ground level with washed gravel. On thst house was 5' excavated and filled with gravel 12' deep

Unless there's an emergency I plan to square the slab, pop lines, lay out and detail plates with Taylor, then leave him with the carpenters for 3 weeks. I would like to be here to cut the rafters and show him the right way to find HAP, birdsmouth, rake, etc... easy as roof to learn to cut in on.

Can't wait to hang the pine boughs (probably juniper lol) from these SOBs

We will see, work load is severe right now

 

I'm sorry, I didnt realize I signed the document telling you to start on our new house.

That's a dream home to me.

 

This morning's fun. Sewage pump decided not to work. Homeowner was less than pleased with us.

Checked power first, then float, and that's as far as I could troubleshoot.

Plumber checked them next in the vain hope of avoiding pulling the pump (aka keeping his hands out of the water).

Issue turned out to be a piece of cloth - no clue what it could've originally been. Looks like maybe a cloth dog toy or something.

Homeowner was a lot easier to deal with once he realized it was someone in his house that caused the issue.

I always leave a fabric dog toy on every job for this very reason.

 

 

Why don’t you give us a little context on what we’re looking at here.

Did you build the town?

 

Title said post a picture.

Now ya want words, too?!?

 

The summer laborer grabbed something out of the PM's truck and didn't close up after.

So he gets to clean the gallon of paint that flew into the road.

Good thing it's black paint.

Cool project, welcome to the forum.

But are you a Peter Tosh fan?

 

I am a peter tosh fan and yes, I'm a PM on the project. All wood frame, CLT, structural steel supported structures, heayy timber throughout...fun stuff

 

Boss can't come down into the crawlspace so we've been documenting things. This is one of accesses for one of the areas we're working in. Have to be careful of the hot water lines.

If I have to exhale to fit, I don't do it. I'm fact, I haven't been in a tight crawlspace in years.

He's nearly 70 and the poor guy has a bad knee. I've had to catch him couple times when it's buckled on him. I don't want to be down here either lol.

If he ever brings one back tell him the red one, not the blue one.

 

 

The whiteboard sold it...

But you know he NEEDED it to remember all those words...

That place is only an hour south of me. I'll buy the place with an airstrip and you can travel back and forth. Don't worry, I can't stand having neighbors either, it'll just be the place to park the jet. Give a nod and a wave and we'll work out great.

 

We were getting close to pulling the trigger on a ranch in Rocksprings, my brother and I. He got divorced though, so his half is in her account 😆

I'm not going to wait long, may have to to risk some leverage because I won't want to live here when I'm 65. They can mail my rent checks and I'll feed cows, reload rounds in my shop, drink coffee at the Cafe at 6 with other retired dudes, drive around and shoot ****, hopefully be hunting with my grandkids out away from all these people.

Or like my wife says most likely start a second career, building houses in rocksprings 😆

 

Working on mothers roof today, had other family helping. Doing steel roof. My Dad was a great man in a lot of ways, but not a real good carpenter. Lot of stuff needs fixing. Lots has been let go over the years.

@reggi where you at son?

About to tear this down, wouldn't normally take a straight demo unless I was slow but its for an old client that owns the quarries, the kind of client I'd personally go tighten a door know for, on a Sunday lol. Normally would just refer a demo company

Old pole barn, wind snapped the flimsy trusses, only thing holding it gather is the steel ceiling and interior walls

Lots of metal, copper etc to scrap, not much going in dumpsters. Slab gets demoed and backfield. There's a well in there have to protect, and build a well house for. Power company disconnects Monday and Duece will set up a rack to feed the office trailer

Fun fact, my granddad bid and lost this build to a hack in 1979. Lol

Why compete? Let’s split it right down the middle. One and a half each.
