ebinmaine 67,498 #204 Posted September 30, 2022 Got another lumber delivery today. One of those two posts is now the back wall overhead beam. The smaller piece of PT on top of the sheet goods (Advantech) is a diagonal for the back wall. Zoomed in I believe the Advantech is for the 2nd floor. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,498 #212 Posted October 1, 2022 The builders doing the main part of the work here have been great to get along with. They're trying to help out when possible about getting certain parts pre painted that'll be high off the ground. They built the gables a couple days early so Trina would have a chance to paint the trim. That happened this morning. We're scheduled for the crane Tuesday. 3 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not seeing nailers built into the trusses for siding. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't have the sizes or quantity of the windows yet, or the accurate spacing. First floor ceiling height varies on all his buildings because they don't always do the site excavation. Also depth of poles varies. These things will dictate the position of the stairway later which in turn will dictate the position of the windows on the back wall in particular. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,361 #217 Posted October 2, 2022 I'm talking about the trusses themselves, where the painting was done. there's nothing below the fascia boards to fasten siding to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh oh oh. I imagine that'll get added on from the inside or they'll flip the trusses Monday to finish the build. They were left this way specifically so we could paint. I'll be curious to see what happens too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,361 #223 Posted October 2, 2022 I can see the pocket now, that just might suffice in giving the siding a place to rest. I forget now are you using wood or steel as your siding? I'm thinking you mentioned wood though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forget now are you using wood or steel as your siding? I'm thinking you mentioned wood though. Wood siding. Steel roof. The image below you can see two tarps. The one on the left is covering the half unit that isn't painted. The one on the right or straightforward is a half unit that's already painted green. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,361 #225 Posted October 2, 2022 We would build a pocket like that for steel siding, much the same for wood also. So I approve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
