Challenges

This project (and every project) has its challenges. I was hopeful we would have done our due-diligence and worked out problems in advance, or something would be known in advance. Sadly, I don’t feel we achieved my desired goal. So now its the run of the fire drill, for every turn we make.

This evening’s challenge is a warning shot from the framer. He stated we should discuss on Monday the specifics of the roof above the stairs, the plans don’t have details on it.

So looking at the plans…

Section of plans showing the stairs

we can see there is a detail call out, the circle with a 7 over S-5. This means we go to page S-5, where we can find detail 7.

Detail of how the roof above stairs is structured.

looks like it is spelled out, what is the contractor talking about?

Unfortunately, I never completed modeling the house, and thus studying how this is built from plan. So let’s hurry up and try to build this specific thing in model.

So it look close enough. Often times details in plan don’t reflect your project exactly as they are “standard” drawings which suggest how things come together. The rub here is our lower wall is an off angle. As we pan away in the 3D view, we can see conflict between a large scheduled beam and the double top plate.

conflict!!

This doesn’t show in the detail because details are a slice of the whole picture. If you look back at the first image, you see the line that represents the sliver of what the detail shows us. What is not shown to us is how the 2×6 wall (which is at an angle) is to be built.

I don’t know how this is to be solved. This isn’t my field of expertise. The best I’ve come up with is this so far.

does this work?

I can’t get any help in this tonight. I’m not liking these fire drills. Don’t get me started on foundation (crawl space) ventilation. That it is raining and engineered lumber is sitting in the rain. That we are going to run out of money. That I’m saving old lumber that isn’t being considered for finish work. Everything I do is wrong or a waste of time….. I could care less about interior doors at this point in time.
