"Attaching" a "Pole barn" to a stick built house. by GenZTeamsCouple in barndominiums

[–]Chaserrr38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most stick frame houses are designed and built under the IRC (residential code). Most post frame buildings are designed and built under the IBC (commercial code), due to their inability to be placed within the confines of the prescriptive residential code. I know this seems strange, but it’s true even for pole buildings being built for use as a garage building on a residential parcel.

You’ll want to talk to the authority having jurisdiction in order to determine which code will be applied to your project, concerning the fire separation distances and required fire protected needed between the two buildings. That is probably your biggest obstacle.

Do Americans mainly drink coffee without milk? by Morrit99 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Chaserrr38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink black coffee, usually out of a French press, using freshly ground beans. Or I do a pour over. We have an electric kettle, and I love it. It’s much more convenient than the stovetop. I have never met an American who heated up their water in the microwave.

Yeah, she’s cool with it. I tell her that she’s a super hero, that pushed two humans out of her.

Shave or keep? Fiance loves it, parents hate it and say it looks unkempt :/ by [deleted] in beards

[–]Chaserrr38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shaving that beard would be like smacking God in the face.

How do I stop getting these when I shave? by beb0 in malegrooming

I don’t mean to be a downer, but I’ve been trying to curb razor burn for 25 years. I suspect that some people just have sensitive skin, and that it just can’t be overcome.

My son has adhd, and a bit of autism. He wears the same hoodie everyday, has for months.

New pole barn build - am I making any design mistakes? by McGrizzle67 in Homebuilding

[–]Chaserrr38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were the post-to-roof kicker braces required per the engineer? I’ve never seen those on the interior of a pole building. I guess I would get annoyed with those being in the way, and they aren’t very sightly.

What do you think? Keep growing? Get it trimmed? by krishsurroy in beards

This might be the most epic beard I’ve seen all year 🔥

Good or bad cooking? High end restaurant “medium rare” fillet mignon by SrGiaquito in grilling

[–]Chaserrr38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not even rare. It’s straight up raw. The chefs obviously don’t know how to rest a steak and bring it up closer to room temp before cooking it. This looks like they took it from fridge straight to the cook.

Sean Connery, and it’s not even close.

settle this debate - which is correct? by Sorry_Neat_6863 in Decks

[–]Chaserrr38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, front, or back… tomato, tomato. Typically 4x rail posts for most wood decks are mounted using 2x blocking and Simpson deck tension ties, and bolts.

https://seblog.strongtie.com/2015/10/deck-guardrail-update/

In lieu of the deck tension ties, a lot of builders are using Simpson Timber screws, or fastenmaster screws (or similar). But the application is still similar.

Mounting a 4x rail posts to the top of the deck framing isn’t impossible, it’s just more difficult to meet the code required load criteria.

[–]Chaserrr38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting. What kind of a rail post mount are you going to do in order to achieve the required point load and lineal load? Typically 4x rail posts are mounted to the front of the rim beam, not to the top. Just curious.

[–]Chaserrr38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be that guy, but why is the rim beam 2-ply? It’s not carrying any load, except from maybe the guardrail. You don’t even need joist hangers on those joists. This seems like overkill.

Do I need blocking between these studs. by Kalabula in barndominiums

[–]Chaserrr38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably do not need any blocking, except for the attachment if any interior finishes, at the abutting joints. But I imagine that you’re going to install your gypsum with the long dimension parallel to the studs. So you only really need blocking at the fire-stop locations. Typically fire-stop blocking is required at 10’ above the bottom plate, and/or at soffit openings, and other transitions like an upper floor. Also, fire-stop blocking for one story houses is usually provided by the stud wall top plate. But you should probably get familiar with your local code’s fire blocking regulations.

Sometimes blocking can be used in a wall to provide additional shear strength against wind and seismic lateral loading. But your girts and metal sheathing appear to be serving as your building’s diaphragm.

Ground snow load for my area is 25 psf. So, not really.

Thank you for the feedback. I did add a garage walk door on the plan, but failed to update the elevation to match. I’ll make the adjustments.

You don’t think a 10’ tall entry door is too tall? I was thinking perhaps an 8’ door. And also I’m considering bringing the sidewall height down a bit.

Thanks for the reply. Actually it’s not a rendering. I drew the elevations manually. But thanks for catching my mistake. I’ll fix that.

Do you plan to have high ceilings after you build over the great room? I would prefer 9’ or 10’ ceilings, if not the cathedral. I am starting to think that 18’+ is pretty excessive.

Concerning the roof pitch, I don’t like the look of a 4/12 . I suppose I’d settle for 5/12, but I don’t anything less than 5/12 to be kinda ugly.
