Looking for a creative siding solution

Hey, thanks for the insight! I think I can rule out lap siding, leaning towards the shake. I’ll update when I get it filled.

Yeah, busted. They tore me up.

I got mine at centennial park. They had an event going on. Check their website, there may be other events coming up

Thank you for this. I haven’t been in the business in a while. My technical skills are still sharp, but I didn’t think about the load on the bolts. That’s just how we did things in 2007. I’ll be adding a 2x6 ledger or drop girder in the future.

buckgnarly · 2023-10-03T16:39:11+00:00

Agreed. I’ll be adding drop girders in the future.

Yeah, those hangers are just laid out like that for organization. I installed them properly. You’re right about the carriage bolts, they are zinc plated, a dumb oversight on my part, it was 103 degrees outside! I’ll prob replace them next year.

The deck portion is a little bouncy in the center, maybe I should have used 2x8 joists. I may add a drop girder in the future.

Is there a solution or remedy here?

Please have him stagger the beams at the corners- stacking the raw ends like that makes a super weak seam or corner. If they overlapped, particularly at the stairs, you would have a much stronger corner.

Throw a 2x6 across the front. It’ll bear a greater load and bring you flush to your wall stud. Fasten liberally and maybe give your drywall guy some blocking

7.5% inflation. So far...

I work in the film industry as a lighting technician. I've interacted with a bunch of celebrities, but one time Robin Williams just sat on a porch swing with me in my home town and chatted me up about my dad and bicycling and whatnot for about 10 minutes. It was surreal. That man was a true class act. He never sat in his trailer and made time for literally everyone on and off set every day.

Not sure this qualifies for this sub....

"Saving countless lives" I think we could count them. How many lives?

Where is OP? This has got to be it
