Re: work in progress
Hey Lumber, you got ridge vents going in ??
Never figured out the shakes on a plywood roof though. Started seeing that in the early 80's, instead of the 1x3's across the truss's. Figured with the plywood roof on, the shakes wouldnt breath. Either way, Good job. ;D |
Re: work in progress
there is a product called cedar breather, Ive got three gable end vents Iam not a big fan of ridge vent 3 houses from the ocean ,,, with those north east winds and driving rains,,, the cedar shakes with 1x3 in the situation would have been impossible with trying to keep the place dry during construction .... house is still full of furniture carpets hardwood floors etc

Re: work in progress
I prefer the plywood roof under the shakes. ;)

Re: work in progress
lumberslinger178, beautiful work and great craftsmanship! That kind of work is hard to come by down in Miami. I’m in the construction/development business myself (GC and an Architect)– new construction only.
These are two models we are building in our small development. Very different from the construction styles up north - our influence is mostly Spanish Colonial.

Re: work in progress
And every now and then…we mess up. Either move the beam closer to the trusses or get new trusses. Well, we ended up cutting the concrete beam, doing a plan revision and placing a 4X12 wood beam on steel columns. Ouch! I keep telling my son, a young civil engineer and our project manager –
You get what you inspect – not what you expect! I think this f…-up drove my point home. [IMG] http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q...IMG_0021_2.jpg [/IMG] |
Re: work in progress
Good Looking projects ,,,,,,, yes they are nothing like what were used too we have flood elavation issues here mostly everything is build on piling and starts 10 feet in the air....
Do you do any business with embick roofing I know there down that area I know Mark embick for many years |
Re: work in progress
Those clay roofs are a pain to walk on. Ladder cushions to walk on the roof or wrapp yourself up in bubble wrap. *;D
|
Re: work in progress
Never done business with Embick Roofing, I’ve been working with a friend, Ralph Spurlock. About them piling, they use them down in the Keys but I have never been involved in a project that had wood pilings. I do remember seeing a piling being place in sand at the beach in Gulfshores Alabama. Very interesting, they place the pole in the sand and using a pressure water hose, they displaced the sand as the piling went down. When they had it to the depth, they shut the water off and the sand compacted around the piling.
|
Re: work in progress
Lumber do you have the finished photos of the cedar shake house/ Billy Mac ;D
|
Re: work in progress
WASHING THE PILING DOWN WITH WATER IS HOW WE INSTALLED SEPTIC TANKS AT THE BEACH AT NAGS HEAD, HOOK UP TO A FIRE TRUCK (WE HAD ONE JUST FOR THIS WORK) AND TAKE THE HOSE AND START WASHING AWAY. I COULD WASH ONE IN BY MYSELF IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES.
|
Re: work in progress
It's a cool method... and it works well. Sand has one of the highest compacting % of all materials. Post some pictures when you have a chance. I would like to see it done.

Re: work in progress
Wow, a diving board.
That is one high dive, but I'll bet the landing is a little rough. ;D That is a pretty roof. |
Re: work in progress
|
Re: work in progress
Great job,
but in the last picture, it looks like you left the diving board. |
Re: work in progress
parish they are holding the tops of my pump jacks when I take them down I will go back up on the roof and patch those spots in
|
Re: work in progress
Lumber, never seen a pump jack stand like that, the way you have it secured to the roof.
|
Re: work in progress
Hammer I dont usually fasten them like this but there are to many overhangs and my bracket were to short,

Re: work in progress
Bad story, Was doing a siding jog and was pumping up on the pump jacks. I pump myself right up into the main house supply and and got fried. :'(
Now that was many moons ago. Think I was only 15 years old and just started construction, but I can still smell the skin buring on my shoulders. ;D Great Pics. by the way. ;) |
