Hand Cut Roof Lakeshore roof part 1

You guys do a fantastic job with these vids ..... outstanding!

[@disklamer]

Great work, quite the puzzle for that complex roof, it’s a nice challenge for sure.
To my (Dutch) eyes the approach seems a bit counterintuitive though. Not a criticism, just an observation of how many different methods exist, which I personally find fascinating.
We would lay out the heavy framing outline and roof beams first, then fill in the walls. The construction pov logic being you start with the heaviest/load bearing elements to set out the critical dimensions.
There is otherwise no intrinsic structural or quality difference.

Well hello fellow Tim, fancy seeing you here!
Hope you didn't have too much trouble from Sunday, those winds were something else.

[@AwesomeFramers]

Not too much trouble. Though the very first gust of wind (breeze) knocked a tree down in my back yard. Dead tree.

You can put in a restrictor in the hose to slow the response

I'll look into that, thanks!

Good video, but lower the music, or get rid of it all together! That swing jib is pretty cool.

[@AwesomeFramers]

I thought the music was low. I set it way lower than other videos. I'll check it

[@T.E.P.]

@@AwesomeFramers the music level is not too bad if you raise the volume of your voice over .... still prefer zero music during voice over and music mostly over the building footage ... superb work and glad to have found your channel.

Those overhangs /. Ladders are just hanging off the gables ?

[@armandonunez9005]

You guys have a bunch of tools and equipment set up, do you set all that up and pick it up everyday?
I know out here in NoDak we can leave a table in the house full of fasteners and materials and it is safe, obviously we never leave tools

[@AwesomeFramers]

A lot of it stays out. No tools, but all the little stuff

Am I wrong or do screws have the same shear strength as hanger nails? I was always told screws are a no no

[@AwesomeFramers]

general purpose screws are a no go. But Strong-Tie has a screw made for hangers that is code listed and tested & approved.
These screws in the rafters are also code listed and made by the same company that makes the hardware, Strong-Tie. So it comes down to the how the screw is made and its rating.

[@aspees]

The statement is wrong in general. Its not specific. People confuse brittle screws snapping back & forth with low shear strength. That is false. Think about a regular bolt vs a grade 8. The grade 8 is made from better steel and is heat treated. They are brittle and will snap. The difference is the shear & tensile strength of a grade 8 is double that of a grade 2.
Nails are soft and ductile they have low tensile strength and therefore low shear strength. If you think about a joist hanger the reason for all of the nails is not shear strength. The wood will shear long before the nails. The extreme number of nails are preventing withdrawal. Screws are orders of magnitude better in withdrawl that's why you can use less of the correct screws.
The wiggle test is not a demonstration of shear strength. You are work hardening the metal until it gets brittle enough to snap.

[@rogerhodges7656]

I like your videos but I hate seeing that beam sitting on the steel strap. It will continue to settle until settle until the wood is compressed. The threads on the Simpson StrongTie screwthreads will delay the settling even more.

[@AwesomeFramers]

Your concerns are unfounded. We use KD lumber, dry the house to low moisture content before drywall. Running straps this way has been a common engineering detail for decades.
I think a often times we have reactions to things that don't ultimately prove to be a problem. The wood isn't going to compress like you think it will. Do you have some pictures or references that show this is a concern in real life?
I hope I didn't come across snarky, that isn't my intention.

[@rogerhodges7656]

​@@AwesomeFramers After setting the beam, you can see that it is raised on the straps. At 5:41 and 5:53 you can see that the screws do not pull the beam down and the beam is approximately 1/8" above the plate. At some time in the future, based on load, weight, gravity and settlement, that beam will be sitting solidly on the plate. Over decades in the trades, clear evidence of settlement is most often seen in the compressed and broken drywall joints at multistory stairwells. It may be less evident in this single story structue but it will happen.

[@PerkBuilders]

Put a couple shims in there in the next video and everyone can breathe a big sigh of relief 🥲

[@AwesomeFramers]

@@rogerhodges7656 as I said in the video, the beam has a camber and the actually bearing point is to the right. These SDWC screws won't pull things tight, they are for uplift.
I appreciate your response and concern. I respectfully disagree, but hey we are probably both wrong 😂😂
