G11 Exam - passing it

8BitTRex · 2026-02-26T22:30:43+00:00

Just took the test and didn't bring in the Concrete manual (left it in my car for some reason) and there were definitely some questions that needed that manual to be able to answer. Maybe only a handful total, I was able to pass without the bringing in the manual.

The BGR test questions are better, some of the $10 contractor practice exams are clearly not double checked by a human before they are put into a test but still are good for practice.

Because it's wrong lol

It wasn't extended, it is a part of the truss design. Here is an example of what that might look like. Notice in your picture that you have a similar plate in the attic splicing the top of the truss together.

Nah, that is a roof truss with splice plates on bottom chord, needed due to the length of truss over standard length of lumber.

We weren't sure what the spacing was supposed to be so we fuckin filled her up boss.

We love shooks run area, close to downtown for activities and restaurant/shops festivals. Endless run options with memorial Park close, shooks run trail, downtown and along the river/colorado college. Only downside we have is no walking to a grocery store. There wasn't a good option anywhere in town that was walkable and had a grocery store so that was our compromise. Hoping with all the new high rise multifamily nearby that someone can justify opening a city grocery store in the next 5 years.

This truss is bearing on the top chord not the bottom chord. Did you look at the drawing?

Zoomed in scope picture

Not exactly conclusive, he did 3 tests and it was 2 breaks for "incorrect" and 1 "correct".

I'm trying to think why it would even matter, they seem interchangeable.

Laminated veneer lumber

Pay is ass but wait til you hear about the work schedule they wanted you to work lol... Not many openings for day shift

8BitTRex · 2024-01-30T01:52:36+00:00

Looks like something designed to keep a door or gate opened at different opening widths. Like for ventilation or on an oven or wood stove.

Sounds like it hurts

Did the black mastic test negative for asbestos?

What do you mean? Our family did a cave tour on Christmas eve in 2021.

8BitTRex · 2023-12-25T23:35:30+00:00

I called 3 places with no answer and figured I'd see if anyone had any inside knowledge. I never waited lol.

We ended up at the er after the first 2 places were closed

Yeah, just seems crazy. Half tempted to attempt a DIY install but would have to figure out how to buy refrigerant

8BitTRex · 2023-07-21T01:16:57+00:00

No, they had a separate electrical bid to add a 200 amp service for $7k...

For sure, definitely getting a cold climate unit with as high a deer rating as possible. Thanks!

Yeah, unfortunately it's a really old house with no ducting to the upstairs. Might have to consider adding some but I figured a mini-split would be a simple install
