kruton Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Very cool man. Those are some serious walls. Looks like a good size home.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
PeteW Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 damn man..... you're still deck framing it? not balloon framing right?
DR99 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 damn man..... you're still deck framing it? not balloon framing right?I don't know if you can balloon frame anything to new code anymore. That style of framing is very bad for fires.
torontotoolman Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Posted August 27, 2015 damn man..... you're still deck framing it? not balloon framing right?Whats balloon framing? Lol or even deck framing lol i never heard these termsSent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk
99_XC600 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Great work, I bet the guy that owns the simple brick ranch across the street loves his neighbor to the right. That house is huge in comparison, it makes the ranch looks like it's the servants quarters,
hathatyl Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Nice Toronto, framing has always been interesting to me
regopit Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Whats balloon framing? Lol or even deck framing lol i never heard these termsSent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Balloon framing is a style of wood-house building that uses long, vertical 2" x 4"s for the exterior walls. These long "studs" extend uninterrupted, from the sill on top of the foundation, all the way up to the roof. Deck framing build your walls on the deck then raise the walls build a deck on top of you walls then repeat.
