ugggggggghhhhhh noooooooooo waayyyyyy

 

No footings are bad, cant tell what his layout even is but when I built my garage I framed my walls with california corners, squared, sheeted and tyvek and then stood them up and plumbed them and set braces.

 

For truses we put our nailers 1 1/2 off of the outside, that also becomes your ceiling nailer later but it sure makes setting the end truss a snap. Set metal clips on the top plate in the layout and set plumb and brace.

 

I've seen some pole framing that looked better

Why are you making fun of YammerDans garage ??? :confused24:

:rotf:

Can't be Yammers cause his is made of cement blocks & metal roofing. I don't think I've ever seen such a pathetic looking building. In fact I know I haven't.

I'm afraid I am a bit with the poster... if I am a renter, I would probably just enjoy the show... and then a quiet call to the city to have it removed. We get quite a bit of this around here for this type of structure and you can't hardly grab a nail without a permit.

The safety issue is the base concern but the enjoyment of watching such ribald intentions

executed holds it's own merits.

 

My father in law needed help in Kansas and I asked if the 2 car garage was properly permitted and he laughed at me. "Kid, this is Kansas, if it burns down and damages somebody's property you are liable, otherwise, have at it."

absolutely true story... while i was serving my carpentry apprenticeship, my buddy got his degree and was teaching school.during the summer a couple of his fellow teachers and he thought they would make some extra money and got a contract to build a garage for someone. (seeing these pics reminded of this story) they got the walls up , rafters and plywood on the roof and were starting to shingle the roof. the way my friend tells it, one of the guys climbed up the ladder with a bundle of shingles on his shoulder, flipped it off onto the roof and they heard a loud -crack-... next thing you know the walls blew out , roof collapsed in, and they all got some some bones broken. legs, arms, etc.:doh:

I remember hearing about one of the astronauts who went to the moon.

 

He said it was a scary thought that they were sitting on top of more power than several atomic bombs used in WWII, controlled by many computers, built with thousands of intricate parts....all supplied by the LOWEST BIDDER!!!!!:Avatars_Gee_George:
