Title: Need help with open space.
Post by: suburbancowboy on June 27, 2011, 09:16:06 PM
Ok I need some help with my build.  I have a cat walk connecting the two rooms upstairs.  So in the middle I have have these two large open areas.  Some time in the next two weeks I will be putting up the trusses.  My problem is there is nothing to stand on in the open space to put the trusses up.  The only thing that I can think to do is to put up lots of scaffolding.  I have some but would need to rent more.  Does anybody have any ideas what to do or use?

After sleeping on it some last night, accentually I didn't sleep much, and reading one of my framing books I think that I will build a temp cat walk along the edges using some 2X12's with a temp support in the middle of the span.  I can then reuse the 2X12's for the stairs when I get things dried in.  At least that is the plan for now.  Maybe with more sleep tonight I will come up with a different idea.
