From YouTube: HabLab steps towards roof

Description

Kggigifik

A

Wait so tell us this is have lab here. What are the steps starting from the slab foundation? That is the basic foundations here and moving on to the house. Well,.

B

We're going to put we're putting columns up, we bolted them down and the reason we're doing that step. One was to put.

A

B

Metal anchor jail, hey bolted and drilled, no and anchored name. Of course, the makers of laminated columns in any.

A

Clement income any stretch them out as far as you like and consumer on to.

B

Rerun them, while until we get the beams on them and when we when we bring to transfer over and shoot everything, then we'll know exactly where the cuts need to be. So we cut them exactly where the beams will be yeah.

A

So, just in more detail, you start with the roof anchors. Then you put the first one on embrace the first one tell.

B

Me kind of more a little more how what the.

A

Process was you.

B

Start on it well, first thing: we did we come over later. We laid everything else. We had to measure this when the latest I'll make sure this what you square it surprisingly square now now I'm between it was way off with the corners or with it was within three quarters of an inch of square which is 46 votes for a building realism.

B

You know, okay, we check foursquare and we screwed up, and then we laid out our our columns straight. It was three lines and we tried to what everything is great and then, after we had that down as we laid them out, we spent not. Yesterday, we've been a little bit time today before play. Lay it out check in the structure, /.

B

Afternoon we came up here started drilling said all these anchors said all the standoff anchors and laminated post and so.

A

I see a chalk line here. What's the position here that you selected like.

B

That, well, as I said, we went from corner to corner because.

A

B

Is wavy, so you can't? You have to run a chalk line from corner to corner once we made sure the building with square and.

A

B

A chalk line, and then we and then we came off so many feet, and then this is the this is straight. The chalk line was straight and some of these a little bit how much distance off the edge. Typically, these are 12 inches. The center line is 12 inches from the edge which.

A

Which assumes that we have six inch walls in a one-foot cavity first draw right.

B

Now gives you enough room for this column to be inside the cavity, with.

A

One foot of straw: that's like our 50, maybe our 40 I, know.

B

It's draw bill, it's quite a bit. Uh-Huh I, don't know if you to be an art for you. I should can't be pretty tight, see.

A

That the first column you put the braces on the corner.

B

We love we braced, it got it perfect, lil in both direction, and then we started just standing two columns up and then we actually stood them up, but one windy. Yesterday, then you you get a level one way. Then you come back at you anchor together in level my way you work your way across Thomas, and then you get that quark where we had those down, but they had to move dirt.

B

So we had to take part of the bracing off that side of the building yep and we'll put the bracing back on and we'll get this brace a little better for us when we do the roof that this is what's holding terrific this whole building in rack yeah, but we get the roof on so.

A

Here we've got a double here, so that's Scott here, so you just start with with double on the bottom and then go single right.

B

By four we we oh I, leave it short. We still got a. We still got more dimensional lumber to put on this for a little stiffer post. What this is it's like a king or dinner once we find it when we get our transit, we shoot everything, and then we know exactly how many to come down when we, when we get ready to, then we will actually pre-cut this to fit exactly and then we can set the ridge. Let me set these beans on it everywhere. That is called it's going to be.

B

A beam goes all the way across goes all the way across and be more goes all the way crossed, and then that will hold all the roof. Rafters yep.

A

B

A

The posts up did you do a chalk line to get the exact height parallel to the floor here, not.

B

Yet we're going to use the transit how'd.

A

You select the level of hydrolysis.

B

But that we just made.

A

Sure temperature, we just made sure room above.

B

Our head and blow where, where the beams going to be so, would so we can go ahead and install the beams and we didn't install anything on this side. So we can go ahead and put this jack. I crypt work this Crippler in to hold the bottom at the bottom of the beams. Uh-Huh.

A

Okay, so the next step here is them.

B

Monday will finish: we got four more columns put up down there and then we'll actually will bring to transit up we'll shoot everything Monday. Once we get the other columns and we'll shoot everything. One time you.

A

Got a laser transit or just has all five laser and a regular.

B

Trims huh I have rotary laser in a laser and rmx.

A

On so will document how you do that yeah.

B

We'll probably have John with the transit, you can get real accurate with it. Laser you'll be with an 8-inch, but I usually use that when I'm by myself or you know, I mean laser.

A

Allows you to do one person. The transit is more to person yeah.

B

Somebody's gotta, you know, read it and somebody's. You know mark it on the phone where's.

A

With the laser you have the laser going all the time you just put.

B

The detector, where ya bae, I have electronic sensor that tells me when I'm on, even if you can't see it.

A

Yep, what's estimated time of arrival for the roof here, it's closed in from the rain, be.

B

Honest we we don't get hurt too much. If we can get some help a little bit. We have about ready to put metal on by then a week, Oh excellent, and then it looked like the weather forecast said one day of range: sixty percent the rest of time, so we'll full day tomorrow, plenty money. We should columns up. We should get the beams up and well actually pop star putting reframing up next and so see. These are be a lot. These themes will be as big as they need to be already.

B

We won't have to do a lot of stuff, but they're going to be a finished beam inside. So once we're all said and done we exposed so in the ceiling area. So, okay.

A

Oh those look like well. This looks good for now, thanks.
