We started a new frame today. It'll be a fun one, so I thought I'd do a photo documentary thread like they do over at Breaktime, except I'll post links, not pics in the thread. Photo album here.
It is easier to just post a link to the photo album, than a million links here.
Today we got all our stuff out to the job and didn't make it too far. The foundation is stepped 1', and it should have been 9 1/2" for the 2x10 joists. The back gets hangered and the front the joists sit on the foundation. So we have to add 2x6 + 5/4 x 6 to make up the difference in height. Since we have to hanger the back, I ordered 2x8 Borate treaded mudsill.
This thing is so cut up that it took awhile to get layout snapped. We checked our lines for square on either end of the foundation and the PLS90 had us within 1/8".
The garage is at 45 to the house and it seems easier to me to snap out the garage after the floor is sheathed to get more accurate layout.
I would normally say all comments welcome, but things are different on the forums than they used to be.
So all comments specifically about framing welcome. I'm always looking to improve, so if anyone has advice at any point, please post it. :-)
EDIT: Anyone know of a way to prevent pictures from being saved off the album? So it couldn't be right clicked and saved? Also, a decent program to batch resize? I really hate doing that one at a time.
