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.

Golden... my curiosity started with whether it got R30 cold in Tacoma.... then I noticed Fairbanks AK (I'll bet that means Alaska....never sent a letter there).....
So... is that a long commute.....:whistling

It's a long story... Girlfriend in grad school in Tacoma, then moving back or wherever work is best for both, but I still may work the more profitable summer in Fairbanks.

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!

Had to help a buddy over the weekend on a "garage". Yeah right. More like should have been a pole barn. 70'x 40', 12'-8" ceiling an a 20'x70' storage room above.

Prebuilding roof sections on the ground. Semi goes up in 2 pieces and the party wall. Crane said it was only 2800 lbs or so. Could of almost did it with the forklift. Got another roof sitting beside the last house built already. House is only first floor on.

Looks good, was that out by carstairs? My folks had a 4' drift of snow on their driveway. I think all outdoor construction workers in Alberta slowed down a lot last week.Stunt Carpenter said:
