    has anyone heard of "framing trusses"?

    as i lurk and research my future garage plans, i've come across an interesting roof truss design and cannot seem to find any more information about it. it's called the frame truss, and looks similar to an attic truss, except that the legs are used to raise the wall height, thereby giving...

    mini-split vs window unit

    My “Class Act” Trailer's Structural Integrity Failure

    regardless of this, the issue is that the door was never built for the rating it was requested for. this is defender chassi's argument, whether there is actual documentation that the door was requested to hold a larger load rating than "stock", regardless of OCG's requests to the dealer...
