Great Room Build

[tjfslaughter]

Framing is always big and impressive milestone. It feels like huge amount of work completed in lightening speed. Unfortunately, and I hope this is not the case on your project, this milestone usually signifies big time slow down. What come after is slow, with multiple different trades, making it a challenge to maintain momentum.
Anyway, it looks great, keep posting.

The jobs I have run once you get the roof overhead it’s blow and go. Not sure what will happen here but it’s full steam ahead.

Looking good Slaughter.

I haven't seen metal termite shield used in 20 years.  Since the sill plate is treated, you really don't need to use the tin, plus, it's messy to work with. Other than that, it looks like a great project! Good Luck.

I have always used a termite shield, the PT sill plates help but i can not tell you how many renovations i have done that the sheathing on the bottom course was riddled with termites. I also treated the bottom two feet of sheathing with a termite protection coating

Started the sheathing today solo. Getting a little to hot for my liking. Will keep plucking that chicken again tomorrow morning.

You are doing the sheathing alone?

Today I was just for some good exercise. The crew is scheduled to be back tomorrow.

Sheathers started at 7am today. Should be done by noon. Trim, tyvek, roofing material delivery is set for Friday. Roofers will bang it out over the weekend. Framing and waterproofing inspection scheduled for tomorrow. Then prep for windows and door installation. Hopefully by Monday all windows and door will be installed along with all Azek trim and ready for Hardie. Backfill after siding is done.

Very nice, did the architect spec any braced wall lines/panels? If he did make sure they follow the nailing and blocking criteria.

He did in the floor. I have to throw bolts in the collar ties tomorrow morning before he gets here. Sheathers are using my ladders today.

Nice a toasty out today. Keeping these 2 guys hydrated. Roof sheathing is done. Walls should be wrapped by 4.
