Tim, is that your Captain Morgan pose?

So work has gotten busier for you guys? Still slow here, although the phone is starting to ring.

I'm not sure what it is :jester:

Yeah things are picking up. It sounds like we've got two customs ahead of us, one of which the couple said they are commited to geothermal and solar and that quality comes before price. They are going to get a very well constructed house, those are the kind of people we all want to work for.

So we may have work for the next 6 months to the end of the year, but I can't count on it until there are signatures.

Anybody can cut and fit dimensional lumber where you can strike a nice pencil line where you need to cut it. :whistling

Gus I am guessing that you didn't make those cuts with the cnc. Same principles apply to those cuts too. Just a bigger pencil.

Here is how we got the back cuts for the t&g

This got the top cuts

This got the top cuts on the center log

This got us the flat surface on the bottom to rest on the center log. Got the consistent height too.

The whole thing was mocked up off site at Bob's house

This is Bob and his homemade draw knife. Awesome guy, couldn't have done it without him and his mountain man ways.:notworthy

There was other work with the round stock too

That's traditional Sioux Indian teepee building technique right? :laughing:

A little rustic for my taste, but impressive!

Tim, aq buddy of mine does his dormers the same way. (Gotta have a lift to pull that off):sad: Nice job.:thumbsup:

It sure makes it easier with a lift on the job. I've had to build them on the roof most of the time, thats a real PITA.

 

[SC sawdaddy]

Great pictures Gus.:thumbsup:
Thanks for posting.

@ Timuhler - is that the new dewalt worm drive in your pic? Didnt think it was out yet, may I ask where you got it and how you like it?

@ lone - I have never seen those metal wall studs that look like trusses. Whats the brand and whats make them different than traditional metal studs?

Sorry to thread jack. You guys do some amazing work though, I sit at my computer mezmorized everynight hoping I can learn to do that one day. Keep the pics coming

there was an assigned engineer for the entire project, thats how he wanted the entire house....

made sheeting easier for us!

also i consider it an honor to be thanked by LONEFRAMER, your pics are incredible, i havent been that far around the block yet, hell im only 23!

The entire framing package was the "Frame Rite" system by Marinoware. All the studs in this home are structural, whether load bearing or not. I don't particularly care for the open web design of the studs, because in many cases, the holes arent where you want them and it's a real bear to punch 'em where you want 'em. The owner opted for I-joist roof rafters rather than the steel option that is also offered by Marinoware.:thumbsup:
