General Forum / Re: Gable end framing -- hinge...
Last post by rothbard - September 16, 2024, 02:30:16 PMI completed this gable, balloon framed from a scaffold, with the following notes.
* center was doubled
* 1 pair of symmetrical studs about 4" from center either side.
* 16" o/c elsewhere
* The gable framing is dropped by exactly the rafter height -- outriggers will go across this dropped gable from the nearest rafter to form an overhang. I am slightly worried about a hinge effect at the outriggers but I will add brackets attached to the outriggers to counter this (pictured below)
Beyond 12' height the stud spacing was well within 12" o/c average, below 12' more like 16" o/c.
I found the easiest way to frame this with a single man is to set the tallest center studs a a doubled post, brace it from the vertical and horizontal axis, then balloon frame out from scaffolding. The top plate is placed after a few studs then the rest filled in. I used a string line like when you stack CMU at ~8' height tied 1.5" beyond the adjacent side walls so I could perfectly set the studs vertical.

Owner-Builder Projects / Re: D-Log Shed Build on Skids
Last post by OlJarhead - September 15, 2024, 06:01:44 PMI'm thinking now that I may place the skids as planned, then run flattened 6" logs as 'floor beams' to place plank flooring on (though I may use OSB and then 1x's to make sure it's well sealed.
I'm still debating the issue of rats and mice and insulation and maybe will use 2" Foam between the OSB and the 1" flooring or something like that.
Anyone have a good way to make a floor this way and insulate it while keep the rodents from stealing the insulation and without having to crawl under a structure on the ground and placing hardware cloth?

Got up to the cabin and finally for the back door on the composter/power room installed.
And finished testing a new power supply that was pretty awesome!
