    This video was not entertaining enough for my toddler to let me keep watching it- now I’ll never know how to install trusses. Thanks a lot.

    a local builder has truss locks that are assembled like a folding Rule. Once it's clipped on the first two trusses it just opens up for each subsequent truss. They are made of sheet metal.

      We had those, they didn't work well and we all pinched fingers :-0 You still have to set them at a level you can reach, the Truss Lox can be installed before the truss comes off the truck and skied in. Or set at the top and then roll the truss up.

    This reminds me of how not to use a girder truss, in 1890 the “Holybourn cottage” on Jekyll island used 2 railroad bridge trusses to span 30 x30 rooms on the 1 st floor. That run up through the second floor walls into the atic and hold up the first floor from “the top down”

  • @steveharkins279
    @steveharkins279 20 дней назад

    Hollybourne cottage also has 12 foot ceilings on 1st & 2nd floors, 12 working fireplaces, and twin 8 ft x 10 foot pocket doors opising the 2 30 x30 entertaining rooms on each side of entrance foyea. “ O” and get this,the bridge truss lands right on top of the pocket doors below, so there is a piece of steel running front to back of cottage to pick up the bridge truss on the second floor.

    A Board Foot is easy to remember, as my bored foot. When it just starts dancing, It fills up a bit of area going every which way as I work. That bored foot of mine dancing about; it goes 1' left and right x 1' forward and back x 1" up and down so 1'x1'x1" (30.48cm x 30.48cm x 2.54cm). A board foot is a volume like where you are trying to define where that dancing foot may be, just like a particle in Quantum Physics. Don't worry I'll see myself out, my foot is about to give me the boot.

    With such a small building, do you think you’d rather have used stick framing? (I think this is the same one that you didn’t like the plans for?) Maybe you should order the truss delivery for 4:00 the day before, then call them at 3:00 and say they can bring it in the morning.

    • @AwesomeFramers
      @AwesomeFramers  20 дней назад +1

      Yes, for sure. If we'd been involved at the beginning this roof would have been hand cut, less $$, safer to build, more room for working (eg no webbing) and easier to insulate.

    Could the truck driver not have backed up the "service road" at least halfway? You seem able to drive up, and I suspect your cube van/vehicle is no wider. People generally understand late deliveries if they are informed in advance-it's when they don't call that my blood pressure goes through the ceiling and into the stratosphere.
