#simpletipsunday archive edition... on Tuesday...because I’m on holidays and forgot. 🤷🏼‍♂️ . Do you calculate your own material take-offs or leave that to the lumberyard? . Calculating roof sheathing is fairly straightforward. Even with a more complex or mixed pitch, the covered floor area is multiplied buy the appropriate slope factor separately then added together. #mathneverlies #framermath #materialtakeoff • . . . . . #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #roughframing (at Beaver Creek, Yukon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1IH8DQgMFS/?igshid=y3feo1les01f

#mathneverlies ... I’m not going to lie. I was stressed out about these oversized raked walls fitting. Every component (plates, studs, beams,...) where all calculated off plan, cut, stacked, and banded in the shop, then assembled on site. This is one task that I am proud of. #componentframing #prefab #mathitout #thingstheyshouldteachinschool • . . . . #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #roughframing #proudofmyself (at Chilliwack, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0UYTy-gegm/?igshid=1kj7h4hp22lct

Looks like my precut tall/raked wall packages fit together perfectly. My other prebuilt walls for the beam and roof diagram when in today and fit nicely as well but I forgot to take a picture of that 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️. #mathneverlies #tallwalls #prefab • . . . #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #roughframing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_vXvIjkRt/?igshid=l64y3rxmlqpt

#mathneverlies ... calculating raked walls components allows a list to be cut at a stack rather than using valuable floor space to lay it out and pull a tape. This is a just a portion of the 1.5/12 sloped 20’ wall built in sections in the shop and assembled on site. My magic numbers for this were 2”, 16.125” & 12.093”. #rakedwall #mathitout #calculating • . . . . #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #redsealcarpenter (at Chilliwack, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bztuotfg9q6/?igshid=g9pzg3kn5zba

Don’t build your raked walls one stud at a time, cut everything and assemble. To find your difference in stud height (the magic number) use the formula RISE/RUN*STUD SPACING=MAGIC NUMBER. In this case 3/12*16=4. let me know if you have questions. #mathneverlies #framingtips #magicnumber #roughframing • . . . . #rakedwalls #tips #tricks #efficentcarpenter #walls #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #landingprojectlangley (at Langley, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFSeaMgJ45/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=co7bvf7v4jtb

It’s easier (and faster) to build the floor on the ground (saw horses) than it is to navigate 2” of snow on the walls. No matter how many times I pre-assemble large components I’m still nervous about them fitting until they are in place. The other lead on site said mine fit better than the boss’ did on the last floor. #assembly #prefab #mathneverlies • . . . . #component #floorsystem #floor #joist #tjifridays #tgifridays #crane #thingsyoucandowithacrane #nailedit #carpenter #carpentry #flyingfloors #framersareadyingbreed #keepyourheadup #skills (at Abbotsford, British Columbia)
