Masterbuilder?

I got my hands dirty this past visit and helped Dave with some framing. The highlight had to be operating the powder actuated fastener to attach the wood blocking to the steel. After being warned by Dave, I got a nice blood blister when the damn thing pinched my finger. All in a days work. Not sure what category of IDP that will go under.

"Inspecting" roof joists.  Definitely not OSHA approved.

Roof framing

D&J have been busy blocking out the webs of the steel roof girders to receive joist hangers and wood I Joist roof framing members. They also were able to install some of the LVLs that compose the edge of the cantilevered roof. The folded roof profile is starting to take shape. I am really pleased that we went through the effort of getting a narrow roof sandwich with no drop beams. This will allow for a continuous wood ceiling to extend uninterrupted from the inside to outside. Nice work Chach!
