Thanks a lot, esp for pic! I guess, worst case, gotta use my oscillating saw to notch out sheathing at 12 locations if sheathing gets in way

Thanks sledneck!

Hi All Doing my first truss roof in a few weeks. Still haven't decided between scissor and common truss (24ft). I digress. Is there any tolerance or wiggle room on bearing points. For example if my sheathing comes up to top of 2nd top plate, is it going to did the tail, or will there be, say...

Hopefully, I'll get my framing done this weekend and onto my trusses the weekend after. Trying to decide whether to go with perpendicular to truss top chord (i.e. angled at same pitch as roof) or plumb with wall. My instincts tell me plumb is better, but my table saw is dismantled (as it goes...

That would be my opinion too. I don't have the experience to know better, so i have to take reputable documentation (i.e. from experts like Simpson) as gospel.

Thanks Bill!

The Simpson literature said specifically not to penetrate nail plates, but I have seen it done

For the field nails (single row) would I switch to 16d? I know I need to use 2 x 8d for double rows

thanks guys. Will call inspector

Hi All When inspector was round doing pre-pour, he mentioned he'll be looking at nailing patterns on sheathing and expects 2 columns interleaved 3-inch apart, as shown here: http://www.all-concrete-cement.com/shear-wall.html What i'm not clear about is would the double column just be at the...

Not specifically, just some ties. I want ones that will take 1.5 nails so I can use the MCN 150 strapshot nailer Attached is diagram of truss and it looks like the nail plates will prevent anything being nailed on inside, no?

That was the only downside I could see, but don;t see an alternative if I'm sheathing first

The H1's seem to go on outside. A lot of the trusses have nail plates on the inside

Hi Guys Doing my first truss install with 24' commons for my new garage. I'm planning to sheath the walls before standing up. Trusses will be directly above the studs. Thinking of using the H1 hurricane ties (http://www.strongtie.com/products/connectors/h.asp#gallery2) Can anyone see an issue...

Yeah I put a hepa filter on my rigid. turned to complete ****. Suction must have dropped 50%

My 28WW says 2-3.5-inch and .113 to .131. Says it's OK here too...

Hi Guys Starting framing exterior walls on my garage on friday. Only bostitch hot dipped galvanized framing nails I can find (for stud to bottom plate) is these...

I've got studs and sheathing for walls being delivered on thursday. Will lay out sill plates on Friday and start framing Saturday. Garage is 24 foot wide and walls are 9 foot, so if i get sheets dropped in center, near apron, I should have enough space to build the side and back walls
