Welcome back!!!!! this week we put the large kitchen window in the front of the house increasing the sun coming into the master bedroom its gana be epic!!!
1970s thinking on dwangs ---> Early 1970s industry literature outlined why dwangs were used at the time. Structurally, dwangs were used to: - improve racking stiffness and strength of a wall - support studs against buckling (under vertical loads on the wall) - support sheet linings to improve their strength and stiffness (perpendicular to wall) - provide fixing points (behind linings) for accessory fittings. Non-structurally, dwangs were used to: - prevent wet studs from twisting or bowing during drying out - reduce fire hazard by acting as flame and smoke stops within the wall cavity - improve thermal insulation of the wall by reducing convection within the wall cavity. (Current view very different) - Improved building material quality and industry research has since debunked most of these assumptions.
Can't wait to see the finished product bro!
Should be done in a few months......😉
Nice bro, I like the how to / step by step format
Cheers bro thought I'd try the less chat more show format🤣
