so the guy who i helped for like 2 days up at the cottage framing in 2010
i still keep in contact with him.
so i went to go see the custom house he was framing
doing the trusses i learned alot just looking around.
i always had a hard time understanding the transition between the upper and lower trusses
but what i saw made sense,
the lower trusses came up to the same HAP at the upper plate and the uppers just had tails which were lapped with the lowers. and thats that.
walk out basement and was really checking out the bay gable framing
hes good.

Am I the only one who has never seen TGI's used for rafters? How can you cut a bird's mouth on it? Is this allowed?

Best way is to put a beveled top plate on, no birdsmouth necessary.

Our policy is if you are 6' off the ground, you must use fall protection, end of discussion.[/QUOTE]]


Doing a 3 story steel building right now and all the erectors maintain 6' fall rule. They are so used to being in a harness, tying off, and being safe that I don't think it slows them down at all over not using fall protection.


That being said working residential framing I have for sure been in harms way too many times. There is a cowboy mentality of being the biggest bad ass, and it needs to go away. In the last couple years I have seen OSHA on some residential sites (larger Toll Borthers sites) and some big fines were issued.

One or two more days to finish wall flashing and add a carport!

Wow! You could cut a roof really quick doing this. I thought I was going to take a break from learning today since its Saturday, but not the case....Thanks guys

I have done it and Yuk I hate it, to many hangers involved at the ridge and plate connections and all the work needed to create the overhang ( cutting, padding ) sucks !
Give me good old fashioned 2by12's any day

I'm not a snitch but some things I just can't ignore and let slide. Illegal dumping is one of them.

Heres a few from my first build I was in charge of last fall. Awesome view in the morning.

 

[pizalm]

Heres a garage I did recently, first time I've had a crane for trusses. Watched the crane drive by on the road and miss the turn, so we waited while my boss tried to get ahold of him. Then when he got there he didn't have enough pads to get level enough in the driveway. Then had to wait another hour and half for those to show up from the city. The day was about 5 hours longer than it should have been.
