Day 14 - Keith, the Master Framer

 

We're back. Nate and Kevin did an awesome job with the retaining wall and the electrical conduit.


They finished laying the conduit out to the service at the street, and the trench is all filled!


The concrete flattop triangles (back at it with the technical terms) were buried out in front of and to the side the house as well. Those will be used to foot the posts for the front and side decks.


This is Keith. Keith is a beast; an absolute mammoth of a man, and a master framer to boot. It was a pleasure to have him with us, and I'll show you why.


Keith built two walls in one day.


I spent some time admiring his trailer. Organized, clean, and stocked. Two thumbs up. If I had three thumbs, it would be three thumbs up.


These are the two walls that he put together. He builds them on the ground and stands them up when they are done.


We also spent some time filling in gaps with spray foam. This house is all about energy efficiency, so we need to seal up every crack we find.

Day 3.5 - A Small Detour

We're taking a quick break from Fayston and journeying to Exeter, NH. This is Tommy's house. Or, it will be his house. We did some framing for the floor today. I won't go into any details about how the joists went down, mostly because I don't know any of the details. Today was all about plywood. The plywood is tongue and groove so pieces fit together snuggly with one another, like a puzzle. Plywood gets glued to the joists using PL (super heavy duty glue) and gets nailed every 16" (8" on the edges that run with the joists). The glue and nails help the plywood stay tight to the joists which prevents squeaking. Raise your hand if you like a squeaky floor! I didn't think so. Also, stagger your plywood. Lining up one row to the next makes for columns that are not connected by tongue and groove, and that is no bueno. That means "no good" in Spanish. Tommy and Joey spent some time blocking the joists to help keep them spaced properly so that Connor (To...

Day 26 - All the Way Up

  What a beaut! Nick did an awesome job on the knee wall. We also set up some staging so that we can start putting the roof together. I'm starting to think I should have saved the "Stairway to Heaven" title for this...

Day 7 - Nudura Bambura

  We're back. This sucker needs an 8ft wall by Thursday. We're going up today. Way up. You might be thinking, "Matt, what is this baby blue garbage I'm looking at? I've never seen this before." First of all, woah. That's uncalled for. Second, these are your ICFs, otherwise known as insulated concrete forms. The next question is, "Why?" Excellent question, recently-relaxed reader. When you are building concrete walls, you need to frame the walls, pour the concrete, remove the framing, add a layer of insulating foam, add lumber for your inner wall, blah blah blah. I might have made up a step or missed one or mixed a few up. I don't know, I'm still new here. Day 7, see? The bottom line is that there are a lot of steps that take a lot of time when you are talking about the traditional concrete wall building methods. With ICFs, there are two steps: stack the blocks, and pour the concrete. Done. The forms provide framing, insulation, a surface ...
