just went through the whole thread also. Love what you guys do. Sometime I wish I could frame all day long. Around here, its mostly additions and renovations as land is expensive and no one is buying much anyways. I love doing all my own framing but never attempted some of the roofs/framing I have seen in this thread. I love starting my jobs from frame to finish but it all starts with how good the foundation and framing is and that makes all the difference when finishing off every other aspect of the job.
Hats off to Loneframer and Framerman and all the others who have posted so far. not sure if these are all old pics or not. I thought we were in a recession and there are some massive houses in these pics. some people just have too much money.

I'm working on this house now. Started framing in October '07 and probably won't start wallboard before October '10. Trust me, I'm as dumbfounded by that statement as you are.:laughing:

I'm in Cumberland County. This house is about 15 minutes from the Delaware Bay by water. We have been working nonstop except for about 4 weeks last Summer. There are only 3 carpenters on the job and we have actually done work along with the other trades along the way, such as setting switch and receptacle boxes, high hat frames, pulling communications wires, pulling plumbing supplies, tubing in the radiant heat floors, insulation, setting over 120 high pressure AC outlets, running the AC flex duct...... I could go on for pages.:blink:

I prefer to work with less people like that too. a lot less mistakes get made and the quality is much better.
people don't get that when they buy these big cookie cutter homes they are paying mostly for the roads, drainage, underground utils etc and less money actually goes into the home they just bought and so it's built like crap.

Every rafter bay, joist bay and stud bay gets insulated,interiors too, then all walls get T&G Advantech over the structural steel studs behind 5/8" drywall.

so advantech behind 5/8 drywall on every single wall of the whole house. what is wrong with these people. i've done plywood in kitchens before but not for an entire house. i don't see where they are spending their money wisely. one solid house though i bet.
spray foam in every wall?

This is a scale mock-up of a Poplar crown detail that runs through almost all of the first floor, around 600 lineal feet or so.

All fiberglass batts in the walls and ceilings. He doesn't like the permanence of spray foam. The Advantech serves multiple purposes. Sound control, security, backing for absolutely anything they want to mount or hang on the wall and ease of installation of the wallboard, due to the fact that every wall in the house is framed with structural studs.

Every floor is poured, even the observation tower, which was poured on the ground, then hoisted up with a crane and set on 5 steel columns. Every floor has radiant heat as well.

There is one unit to service the garage/ground level, one for the first floor, one for the second floor and one for the tower. There are no exposed sofits or chases for the duct, they are all conceiled in the walls. The only large ducts are in the attic space. The chiller is going to be about 200' from the house and piped underground to the house, then to the individual units. There are 8 seperate manifolds for the heat with a total of 50 loops, each thermostatically controlled. Plus another outside manifold that will operate off of a seperate glycol system.

Heres a cool little job I did. The steel columns eventually got boxed in by the HO. The rafters are 4x10 roughsawn cedar. I dadoed a slot to receive the 1x6 T&G, leaving room for ridgid foam above and an air gap for ventilation. The windows overlook an embankment to a small river, which you can tube down around a hairpin turn and 20 minutes later, climb back up to the road, grab another chilled beverage and jump back in.:clap:
