What in the ever loving is that carrying?

Two bedrooms that are half above the garage below. Triple 16" lvl on the one right side of the 24" for the point load off the roof girder

 

Crap. That seems over spec'd.

But, I am terrible with words and pictures, I'd have to see it for myself.

Still seems like overkill....

 

We got a couple of heavy ones to set next week. Each beam is a 12x53 25' long.

1325 lbs each. Gonna have to eat our Wheaties!

 

you need to get a lift warren, your not an animal.:laughing:

Prices are going to start rising on used lifts soon.

 

Those poor little benches.:laughing:

 

Back elevation and view of Holy Hill 10 miles away from the peak of the roof. By far the tallest house in the sub division.

 

Hardy Panels

Putting this together using the HFX panels. There are 40 of them in 3800 ft. building, most stack on 2nd floor. Can never have too much shear.

 

4"x24" radius beam

Archy never planned how to carry roof over the bays, made this up onsite, 2 guys 2 days,16 4x10x1/2" cdx ply,2 case PL and lots of screws.

That's impressive :thumbsup:

 

That's.... awesome.

Thought that was you.

Welcome to my other other time wasting apparatus.

 

Ready for rafters on this ranch. I hate these 22' high covered decks.

 

Is it standard to use a truss to hole up the ceiling on a stacked roof?

 

it is here. whether it's for a garage ceiling with no beams and posts (steel has gotten very expensive, you might have noticed) or a 28' ceiling across the great room/ kitchen, it's the way to go. It also eliminates a lot of extra beams in the floor system. We do it all the time.

 

A few of the roof we are working on

 

Will you be using the skewed hangers to hang other trusses from that girder?

Ya a Simpson hanger like this

 

Are the Simpson SDS screws required with those?

 

They send us 16d commons:huh:

Those things suck! And are expensive!!

 

yep, we may or may not have lost one too inch:

 

couple more from the same house

 

8 trusses at once, how do you do it? 3 at a time is the way we usually do them. Trusses get delivered and set by the same truck, it goes fast.

 

Sh!t, you got some of that white stuff on the ground already.

The forecast is for like 10 or 11 inches this weekend.
.......dam

 

Buddy keep that stuff out there!!!!!

 

Breaking ground on a new one Wednesday. Is anyone still interested in project post anymore?

 

Yes,...:thumbsup:

 

Well this is what I am upto, 4000sqft of heavy.

 

The biggest single piece wall I've done. Not that impressive but seemed like a lot to me. 45x16' 2x8. Big LVL headers.

 

thats a whole lotta wall!!! so is the 8" thickness becoming the norm for exterior up in your neck of the woods? seems to be more and more of it lately?

 

This was specified for strength by engineer. I'm about to do two 2x10 framed 670 sqft cabins. I've also done 2x6 + staggered 2x4. Common is 2x6 plus 2" foam or more. Prescriptive code is now r30 walls in fairbanks. People use many ways to get there or much higher.

The craziest thing for me is for this little airplane hanger I got a couple units of the best looking 2x8x16s I've ever seen. What luck.

 

Prefabbing interiors. Had 4 units built by 9am. Chalked and built all 4 exteriors in place. Had to lift walls and brace and level the next day.

 

nice work...very nice !!!

 

Went to pour a slab in a mansion neighbour yesterday (for lack of better term).
The house we did the slab is the one with shingles started... Wicked place.. 13' main floor.. open to above octagon.. 10'x10' skylight and all sorts of other cool features. I was taking mental notes of how they did the bell curves with struts and not actual radius wedges.. Went up on the main roof to check out the deflection to the scuppers. Lots of rippers
The framed place, i just had to stop and take pics.. Quite a big house with some very clean framing!

 

That looks impressive framingpro, can't believe you have snow on the ground already.
