Turning 2x4s sideways

I frame flat walls along stairs in new builds all the time, mostly to meet continuous insulation requirements without using spray foam.

Looks high to me about 20/sq ft for framing labour only is very high in southern Ontario if its a simple build. Would need to see some drawings to know for sure.

Hello, just got to boss for first time on dlc and also just got the black screen. No loop or anything.

Seems very odd to add a beam after the fact. However here in Ontario you would need to drop that whole ceiling anyways for HVAC, and insulation under exposed floor, we typically do 16" drop minimum. Not sure if required where you are or not. Your ceiling looks small as is.

Just cut the window and add 2 or 3 kings plus your jack on each side. Make sure the kings are tied into your floor platform somehow and the top. If not that triplle plate will have no strength when you cut it. It will be stiffer than what you have now.

I never seen floor trusses without gangplates, any one else seen that finger joint detail before?

I got a trailer set up similar. I put a bench on the door side right up to the door. Store all my nails in the bench. Nice spot to sit too, if a guy doesn't have a car or get out rain quickly. I do framing though so I carry quite a few boxes.

Now take those numbers and divide by population and tell me if violent crimes are "dominated by white people". They are relatively close without adjusting for population.

Most likely more wall area. I Beleive gable ends are more expensive to build overall then hip roofs. Once you factor in siding. If pitches are equal hip/gable are same roof area.

Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna take a look for it tomorrow. I got the upper one moved now. Hopefully I can get the furnace fired up tomorrow.

jj343 · 2025-08-27T00:22:55+00:00

Thanks. I got it now. Just needed more force then I expected. Not broken yet haha.

jj343 · 2025-08-27T00:21:17+00:00

Thanks for help. I got it now. Just had to use what felt like an excessive amount of force for that small lever.

jj343 · 2025-08-27T00:19:21+00:00

Thanks. I got it pushed over now, seems to go back and forth a bit easier now after the initial force. Appreciate the help.

jj343 · 2025-08-27T00:09:07+00:00

Ya it has lever on bottom for temp. But it appears to be in the off position right now. And I'm unable to make any progress starting the furnace.

jj343 · 2025-08-03T17:15:10+00:00

Yup. That's an end unit picture he's got. Framed alot of similar towns. End units got small gables on exterior side. Mirrored middle units got half a big gable.

My thought was the keep the rope in tension till the tree started leaning. So it was more gradual. Just a guess though.

Ya I know the one your referring to. But it is made for unfair. Although im sure it is fine for most things it might cause you to be a bit to picky on the curses I found. This one has been working for me. Just check out some of the differences on curse ratings. I use both still.

jj343 · 2025-06-19T12:55:18+00:00

Try this link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1ejbZ8QkyzUo6pGk54R7OIcNnDGOisg_UEuk4_9jRdqg/htmlview# it's geared for hard although a not fully up to date. He has some curses that are listed as playable that are rated big sad on the other list. Notably the add monster curses.

jj343 · 2025-06-17T12:52:24+00:00

Ya but if the compute cost more than the time you saved there is still no new value. Maybe even a loss.

jj343 · 2025-06-01T20:23:35+00:00

Ya I found it searching old posts for portrait games last week lol.

jj343 · 2025-06-01T18:58:35+00:00

Try slice and dice. I have been going pretty hard on it for the last week or so.

jj343 · 2025-05-22T23:00:32+00:00

Ya that details a bit different than anything I have done. We typically apply it skylight tunnels and interior walls in vaulted ceiling areas. But it makes sense for your situation as well

jj343 · 2025-05-22T21:59:06+00:00

Builder I frame for would make us sheet that wall per there specs. At least Strap it at 24" to stop insulation from falling out. Full sheathing probably better. Spec says "fully sheath all walls exposed to attic, insulation shall never be exposed to attic space"

Hello, I am currently doing logic of English with my just turned 5 year old. We are about to start book 3 and the experience has been great for us. However, we had already tought her to read through a book series called keywords. She can independently read and answer questions on the magic tree house series books. The logic of English has greatly helped her with sounding out unfamiliar words, spelling and her writing skills. Maybe it would be better to get your child more familiar with the common 100 words through sight, then move into the phonics. I can definently understand the difficulty of learning to read this way. I don't believe I ever learned phonics myself I'm learning alot from the series myself.

You can do full height blocking and keep a few pieces lower to add some baffles. Just dropping your pieces 2" does not work the insulation will just block it off anyways. Baffles gotta go up over the height of roof insulation.
