A Nail In The Wall
Too tired and too dark to snag pix Saturday night, and we ran out of daylight.
But, I did get 1-3/4 walls up on the lounge!
The lounge exterior wall is 2×6 stud. All bottom plates are Pressure Treated lumber by code.
When I went to pick up lumber, I found out that any change in roof line requires that lag bolts or through bolts/nuts be used to attach the change to the structure. No biggie, just gotta add em. Same goes for the ceiling joist header that will attach to the existing studs in the exterior wall next to the Control Room. Of course a single picture will convey more than 1000 words.
You’ll see the pic and go… “Oh yeah, no kiddin’, that makes sense… and why didn’t he already logically know that?”
Went back at it after a quick snooze in the recliner… Didn’t get much done worth taking pix of.
I started putting more gypsum up and got a couple of the stud bays filled around the door and a couple of the smaller bays in the wall. The smaller bays, I just went ahead and screwed to the wall, since there’s no way to get a hammer in there, much less the furring strips.
