I remember framing on a duplex foundation where everything was great except the garage party wall. 5" or so out from one end to the other. The builder was not too happy about that one.

I did a 6 pack of townhouses and the concrete at back side of the was out 8" from one end to the other. Bet y can't guess what happened there lol

Sorry,back side of the garage from end to end

Some guys rush the job and don't check anything. Sure doesn't help the framers.

I hate gaspot compressors

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.

Concrete is never perfect. It's just not possible.

So you don't have 220v on site?

So you don't have 220v on site?

I have 220v on the genset, just not enough power on the generator to turn somethjng large enough. A 5hp 220v startup load would be more then the generator could handle. I'm only good for 65amps at 120, 32 at 220. Plus need to have working power for the tools ontop of that.

 

[kiteman]

Well, yeah, if you're running a generator, it's hard to have one big enough. We generally have full power to the site and will sometimes wait a few days for a meter.

Man I've been on a generator for the last 9 months

That really stinks. What is the issue with no temporary power?

I probably have about one job per year started on a generator. Mine crapped out last year after 15 solid years. Just renting now.

I've got you beat. Going on 16 yrs now

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...

That makes me dizzy

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

 

[kyle_dmr]

Put some sheets down Friday.
Be cleaned up and swept out monday.

 

[kyle_dmr]

Done
Equipment packed up and out of there. Float will grab the boom stuff in the morning. Onto the next project. 16 days on it.
