The light and shadow effect is actually really cool ! I like it :thumb2:

Spoilerless ! looks awesome

Typically for headers made of solid sawn lumber; 1" of board width per foot of run is to be used as header material, laminations with plywood and / or other boards depends on how and where they are used. Fastening; 3 X 10d commons on 12'' center. At 12' rough opening you also have to use...

Yeah please let me know. I looked at the link you posted; not a bad way of thinking / building. Will net some savings, not great ones, but some. More about savings on framing materials and framing labor than anything else. The crew has to be on point though because a simple screw up in layout...

I'm with you. That's some kind of screw up. Maybe some new guy did the layout. Who knows, but it should get corrected; simplest way ( now that everything is built ) would be to add studs inline with the joists and make sure they fasten them to the sheathing. .

I see you meant you were concerned with the 24" o.c. framing of the joists...sorry. 24"o.c. joists is not unheard of, but its not common either. Whenever building with engineered lumber you have to go from a plan made by a structural engineer based on what materials, loads and span. Maybe in...

Looking at that picture again and noticed that where the girder is ( the joist that has a wider bottom member on the left ) has to have a point load under it ( studding under it, of the same width, going from base plate to top plate )

Are there any builders on here? I don't know where what you've been told came from; inline framing means everything should line up: whether it be a floor system ( studs line up / rest on top of joists ) or roof ( trusses or hand cut ) rafters should follow the stud layout. Doing this allows...

I've never had any noise or other troubles from them, installed them from the get-go the first time I messed with my suspension. They've been quiet since 2008.

102K of weekend fun on the '06 !

Regular T-50 works fine, I drove myself crazy looking for the special one ( with no luck ) until I actually got under there and gave the regular T-50 a try. Works no problem, never had to use an impact on it, was never that tight.

I'll have to remember that one for when it comes up again. good thinking:hi:

That's golden !! Way the be a great dad, well done.

Ok, I don't remember throwing it away but I looked all over for it and couldn't find it. I'm sorry bud, I really wish I could've helped you.

I might still have mine, I'll look when I get back home tomorrow. If I do you're welcome to it. I'll let you know.
