Needed a shear wall under one of the trusses. Pretty good carpentry work for a welder. wink

2"x6" studs on 12" centers, blocks, gusset, all deck screwed together. Heavier than I was willing to stand by myself. So I do some rigging. This is almost a dail occurrence round here. I find a way...

I can't overstate how impressive Jason's build is, up close in real life. The design, materials, and execution are so far above any city codes, that it would make anyone in my line of business shake their head and smile. He don't half-azz anything.

I have never seen a Fireman not do that Jeremy. I will let him put the roof on and go take a peak. Looks awesome JG.

Diagonal brace notching level expert....nice flat notches! Not everyone can square the wall before cutting...nicely done.

I once had a metalworker/welder work with me building decks. We had a four valley, four peak patio cover to build. I gave him the plans I had drawn to scale and asked him if he could frame it once we got the posts and beams up. I was running two crews at the time so I needed to be on both jobsites several miles apart during the builds. Knowing he had never framed one in wood, but also knowing he was very smart and very capable of doing things outside his normal area of expertise, I knew when he said he could do it that it would get done. The pitch was 12/12 and he drew it out on the driveway in chalk first to get the angles right. He was building the framing on [4] 6x12x24' cedar beams we had just set on four 8x8 cedar posts. Damn thing came out perfect. Freakin' welders.

Today was cold, wet, windy training day. I have never built with steel studs and track. I have never used a RamSet. Can't say that now. RamSet nails into the foundation, top track welded to a header I installed weeks ago. All the studs are welded to the tracks insted of screwed. Pretty sure I've got a handle on this, after today. My house is stronger than yours grin

That's cool, ive never messed with or even seen metal stud construction up close. Saw a house get built as a kid on our buss rout, the girl that ended up living there years later always said no radios or cell phones worked in that house.

Im sure your ready to get that dried in.

Sheet metal roof, sheet metal walls, but lots of windows. We will see if cell signal works in there. If not, I'll need some kind of booster inside the house. That is well outside my field of expertise though.

Yesterday's weather, yeah I'm ready to be dried in. I'm hiring out sheeting the walls too. I have the tools, I know how, but I just don't want to. It's my job to frame and wire. Other guys can do the rest of it.

Man that is coming along very nicely up

Question with all of the steel you are using all over the house studs and...., do you have a storm cellar or are y'all comfortable enough with the strength of the house you are building to not need one?
Again looking real good so far!

Safe room is in the house. Weld plates, heavy columns, heavy channel iron, 1/4" plate steel. I've got a vault door on order.
