Don't have the power to run an electric big enough to keep up. Need 20cfm

Should have the main sheeted and be working on the overlays tomorrow. Everything else of the building is done. Just the roof left.
Under 4 hours to crane today in the cold and windy as hell.

So you don't have 220v on site?

Some funky roof framing. The double lvl sight built truss on the left is from front wall inside corner to back wall outside corner. Right lvl truss is from back outside corner to point load on the first truss and posted through structure to footer in basement. I had to lay this one out on the deck...

Start of a four family our big crew is on and its fire wall. Osb, tyvek, 5/8 type "x", and then 3/8 rough sawn. Each half gets a wall w/ 1" air gap. The first few days are mass chaos of man, material and machine and then poof! A building goes up.


This is a house I helped another crew start yesterday. All framed up and ready to sheath
. It's kind of a pig to frame so I'll post some more pics as I can. It has a lot of tall wall and a pita staircase

They came and put the stairs in the other day so we were able to fill in the rest of the floor. Wasn't sure how much I liked the idea at first but I really like it now that its finished.

Originally I was going to be a tear drop opening like the second floor but then they changed it.

I've made a lot of straight stairs; never curved. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I remember reading an article about it several yrs ago in FHB.

Even though it's highly unlikely that I would ever actually attempt to build a curved set, I find the "how to" really interesting. I'm like that with a lot of things.

We started this thing a couple days ago.

It is a western town.
That's pretty neat, what's that all about?

Movie set, retail, tourist trap or what?

Will be wrapping this roof up tomorrow and starting on the interior Tuesday. A FLW inspired home in Osprey, FL. The majority of it is conventionally framed with TJI rafters and Steel I beam ridges and valleys. Eaves are 4' and gable overhangs range from 3'- 5'. 5 bunks of 5/8" CDX.
Very impressive! Why CMU vs CIP?
