Not So Pro 3

Evening guys. I threw two pair of jeans out tonight. No, neither pair was one I wore up north two weekends ago. Plenty of life in those.

Enjoy the sun @Kiwioilboiler @markds2 @Stihl working Hard . 20° drop here in the last 24 hours.

29°c here today about time Makes a nice change from the rain

I doubt it Dallas. Be as simple as stopping the plasterboard (Gib) from getting waves in it and requiring redo's i would say.

the houses we built that had the bracing at the corners was for wind protection
thats why i asked

 

[Stihl working Hard]

Did somebody say rain?
We had 8" here in the last 3 days.
Thundering now.

On a sad note my 84 yr. old mom died sunday. Planning a funeral is not fun but friends and family came together and have it under control.
Covid is a concern with all the older people , how do you tell family not to be so close?
I guess i am going to try leading by example and wear a mask and ask people to stand a little farther apart.

My sincere condolences for your loss

Morning mongrels…nice 55 to 75 and clear.

Whats with the red color wood? A red variety or treated with something.

Denotes H1.2 treating StevO. We had a period where the timber industry convinced itself that untreated kiln dried timber would be fine as framing because, well it's inside isn't it. They were wrong, and a heap of houses suffered mold and rot issues during that Leaky Building period.

[Stihl working Hard]

I'm Refreshed from the time my eyes were rolled back while also snoring & farting for the last 8hrs

not a pretty sight, so I do it in a dark room

Lmao

 

[Kiwioilboiler]

Interesting. Why the leaks? We build with kiln dried not treated. If everything is done correctly there shouldn't be any water intrusion into the home anywhere.

Exactly. But NZers went through a period of wanting to pretend they were from San Jose or Ibiza or something and instructed house designers to build them adobe style monoblock flat roofed internal guttered water traps.
You've seen how much it rains here, it was never going to end well, but the end result is all homeowners now pay more for timber.

He ain’t talking about a house of ill repute, Dallas.

Got ya. So make everyone pay for someone's mistake. That sounds familiar.

Steve, Just a note. Did you see @brushwacker had NOS McCulloch 12" 3/8"LP bars for $15. Thought it might be of interest.

I thought Dally built trailers in a plant...assembly-line style, no? Lol

Morning All. Windy but warm clear start to the day.

 

[USMC615]

why the horizontal boards on the walls
?
When I worked at Grafton homes if it went out of state only 4 feet on exterior corners needed that

They're known as bridging blocks...whether on exterior or interior walls.
