I'm surprised you don't need hurricane brackets on those rafters.

Oh they’re coming, usually install those after we get it all framed up. We also have to have solid blocking at the top plate to the roof sheeting, along with blocking all of the plywood seams at 4 feet from all edges

I can see it being a fun and challenging job at times! And then you see all of those YouTube videos of cranes toppling over…

Challenge is getting the material to the job site, getting figured out where it's supposed to go from someone who will be signing for it, getting people out of the way when you're swinging material(not sure why folks desire to stand under a couple thousand pounds of material that could fall on them ), and then getting unstuck from the mud you had to ram into to get close enough to reach the front porch, door, or window, other than that it's pretty fun(since carrying it was talked about in my previous post).
I've got a good amount of experience running KB's and cranes, you learn how to wipe out a building, dump the load, or get it to the ground quickly when and outrigger sinks! Most the videos of guys dumping a crane over they are lifting loads that they are unaware of the total weight or loads that can shift, many times it involves improper rigging or rigging failures as well. You see a lot of that on tree work because guys take to big of a pick, once it comes off an 8' tall stump it's hard to set it back down on it when you swing before you lift .
I actually enjoy the risk involved as it's a nice challenge.
Too bad all the pics are gone. I think I posted pics of some of the trucks I drove and the loads, I liked a lot of that too, very few pictures of the rigs/loads though.

It’s going to be enclosed, 1x6 t+g cedar. Thanks, it’s turning out, I was super happy with the beam fit, it was supposed to be 3.6/12 according to to the old plans... and I cut it to that and it fit perfectly, that’s dose not always work out! On the 18” tall glue lam the angle cut was 62.5” long!! A lot of room for error!

why 12"?

 

[Bigmac]

why 12"?

It’s a long span, 16” oc would work, and I don’t like TGI’s in this application, too much extra work, though I love them for the floor, and some shed roof applications, but scabbing in wood for the overhangs sucks!
