Pretty picture Chet. All but those funky ponies. :laughing:

We need a location to make it real.

 

Another 400 sheets delivered for interior walls.:blink:

 

GTFO! What on earth is he doing Riz?

 

One amazing view on this one. Especially to be east of the mississippi.

 

House is in Highlands Cove, country club in Cashiers NC

 

I thought that was the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Nice project:thumbsup: I love the timber framed gable trusses.

I see you have not put a dust pick up on that thing yet.

I'm telling your Mom.

There's a heavy beast! Have 3 or 4 of those in my shop...unused for years.

It's heave, for sure, but it's the only router I've found that's up to the task. I'm taking out 5/32x2 1/2 inches in one pass. The cutters are replaceable and rotateable, I'm on the 3rd set after hanging about 375 sheets. I'm going to get some shots of the steps just to cut out a hole for a box, it's insane, but it's what the HO insists upon.

 

I'm talking about the worm drive :thumbup:

 

I think that router weighs more than the wormy, but I get what you're saying.:laughing:

Now, about those worm drives....:whistling

 

You can have them. All yours. Meet me in NY with Gus and I'll bring them with me :thumbup:

 

I knew there would be a catch.:laughing: Gus is trying to talk me into it as well. I may have to start looking into the possibility, although it's a slim chance at best.:thumbsup:

 

Lone, I'm sorry for that much sheeting!

Almost done this thing. Windows tomorrow and wednesday and it will be finished. 1 more barrel to do still.

 

Few more

 

Next door is looking stellar. Stone work is fantastic, hats off to those boys. Looks way better in person.

 

Kyle, you guys must be doing something right up there. Homes like that are very few and far between around here.

Beautiful work on every pic you've posted.:thumbup:

 

7,400 SQ FT, owner bought 3 water front homes and tore them down to build one monster

 

is that all actual stucco?

 

11,000 Sq ft this guy bought the whole block!
He would only sell the property to people he liked, must be nice

 

nice place, normally i hate stone on the front of houses but that actually is really nice.

around here alot of new subdivisions spec stone as a mandatory on the front then switches to vinyl. all i can say is these places look like someone took a big crap after a night of pounding draft

 

ever seen those brick veneer panels? basically brick veneers glued to celotex and they use like a pastry bag to tuck point.

they're attached directly to the sheathing.

had to repair a bunch of houses that were getting mold on the exteriors where the brick was because the rain water just soaked into the celotex and had no way of draining.

seems like a terrible product to me.

 

framing for some additions

lol sorry about the coffee stains on the first pic

 

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?

 

couple from my current house.

A couple here.

 

couple more

Obviously I am not working today. :furious::furious:

The last one is from today. Yup April 29 2010

 

Hughjazz,

Not to sound critical, but they let over framed valleys like that fly there? No valley board (larger than size of rafter) for support? What is stopping those rafters from sliding down off the pitch, or blowing through the sheeting?

I ask because we are going in to do major reno on a house that was framed the same way, no valley board. Personally, this house we are "fixing" would be easier, and probably cheaper to rip the roof off and start new. And this is not a small home.

I would HIGHLY suggest to you of putting a valley board under those rafters. I would hate to see you get caught and find out it isn't legal to do it that way.

 

Hughjazz,

we always have a valley board what about everyone else?

 

Is that the new Skytrak? How do you like it so far. We always use a valley board. Usually a 1x10 or 2x10. Sometimes just a rip of plywood is adequate too.

 

Yeah that the new (to me) lift.

I absolutely love having it. 37' height 29' forward reach..

I could be convinced to use a ripped sheet for a valley board. Lot's of times there a 1' strips left over.

It just seems like overkill to put down a 2x valley board for a 6' 2x4 rafter

 

Valley board. A 2x one size bigger than the jacks.

I tell the truss co. to leave the valley trusses alone. I'll do the overframe myself.

 

Heres a beautiful Tuscan style home im working on with a large courtyard.

 

Man I'd love to be a broom sweeper for some of you guys, i'd learn alot!

 

wow pat, that place could use some right angles!
