niiiiiccccceeee....

 

last couple.

 

All gets covered and you will never see the beautiful framing.

 

that last pic is so cool the pieces with the flat ends form a perfect circle good job man

 

Thanks man, here is after the builder finished trimming it.:thumbsup:

 

Another "cone"

 

Loneframer: Why all the large lumber on the turret? It looks to me the octagon framing is taking the weight and the turret is just holding itself. Obviously that's wrong or you wouldn't have put all that lumber up there, just curious.
Oh yeah, badass work!

Thanks. The big lumber is mainly for R-value. I like the double hips for greater nailing, moreso for inside than out.:thumbsup: All was speced in the plans.

I built an octagon bar under the water slide
The rear half was even hard. This was a sloping ramp then down to a lower lvl that wrapped around the building. Holy crap that was a pain in the butt

Since you first posted this pic,I always wondered how the flashing detail was addressed at those penetrations?

 

winter framing from a couple years ago

 

Good point, I didn’t do the roofing thou, Paul from “Flash Roofing” is the master
It wasn’t easy we had specific structure movement issues to deal with

 

nice picts guys you all do awsome work

 

remodel job. Not much left of the old house.

 

such a nice job..how many swings for a 16d nails..newb question

 

3 swings and its in

 

few more

 

This one might win in the quantity department. 5 floors of wood framing is too much IMHO, but we do what we gotta do. :whistling

 

Thought you guys might be interested in an update on this project that I posted at the beginning of this thread.

This was a high end condominium project selling (or actually not selling) starting at $350 sf. We finished the project in the last quarter of 2008. At that time 2 units were sold. Since that time 1 more unit was sold, which left 62 units with price tags of 450,000 and up sitting empty for 2 years.

Last month the developer sold the project to a "distressed asset" company. Have not heard what the price was but assume it was pennies on the dollar.

 

still awsome picts , and yeah thats a huge aprtment complex wow , as for the newb question i can hit a 16d in 3 hits , 1 for setting , 2 for sending it home

 

Us veterans drive a spike in one hit!
Its called "nailgun"

 

bastard valleys

 

i do now a few builders that still hand nail the hole house , and it sounds crazy i do admit lol

 

Death comes quick

Wow you sheath of off pump jacks, spoiled:notworthy
I like doing it old school way: gun one hand sheet over my head no hand I hope I don’t fall back climbing this 40’ ladder way:hang:
Is not that fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop

I didn't have pump jacks when I framed the first house I posted in this thread. 1996. Sheathed it off of ladders and wall brackets. I bought my first 3 poles when the builder asked me to side it.:thumbup: Added 5 poles about 2 years later, then 4 more last year.

 

Yeah guys, I don't think any of us bounce like we used to.:laughing: I still want to get back into framing full time for a year or two. Hopefully things will turn around.

 

My phone is ringing. I’m landing a few here and there.
Im running low on egg corns
It’s time for pricing shootouts:gun_bandana::boxing:

how did you frame the eyebrow on the garage picture? is it like a 1/2" 3ply on the brow first, then the high pitch of the mansard?

 

I have been taking pics since day one 12 years ago.
4 years ago my pc took a dive and lost a few years. Got an estimate for a hard drive recovery $3700.00
It’s worth it, I’ll get them back soon
I was able to save a few pics from this condo, thank god I forgot the memory card that day

alot less than $3700

The only time you need backup is when you need to do a restore.

 

Here are a couple of random shots, I need to resize a more I guess I was abusing the 7 megapixel camera at the time.

I really enjoy seeing how everyone does things differently. Our stairs are framed with sub treads and risers dropped to allow for finished wood later.

I will try to resize some more to get them on here later.

Love those Eyebrows, I am getting ready to remodel an older house that used to be my Dads office. It will be my house. The shed roof that extends over the fron porch will be a fully functional eyebrow, it's the perfect scenario for it.... Just as soon as those coins start dropping in the money jar again.

 

Here are a few more, this was a fun house to frame, lots of forty five offsets and arches.

I really miss those days when it was house after house of details like this, it really makes me appreciate the work I get now.

I lost my pics for the 4 sided dome I did a few years back
