I'm hoping to maybe find it local to do the job ASAP before it really gets too cold.

Been reading on those products and most say to apply at 45F or above. I'm just on the line for that. I might have to go with something like the 3M tape that can be used in cold weather.

Installing the faschia boards and the jig i made to make my life easier as I build mostly by myself

Roof Sheathing and Shingles. I finished at 11PM that night. Little Giant ladder was best thing I've purchased in a long time.

Rakes. I think they turned out great for a guy who's not a carpenter but an electronic tech LOL

Cutting the trusses tails to get a 18" overhang on the eaves. The trusses in stock were 24" overhang. The wait was 8 weeks to get custom ordered trusses.

Walls going up and the Trusses. Yes we had snow overnight and had to shovel before starting the next day :-(

Here's the pics from the slab and a few details

Where do you get the cold applied waterproofing? I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry been so busy building from 6AM to after dark that posting pictures has fallen to the wayside. Will take a few minutes tonight and try to upload what I have on my phone.

Hi guys, 2 weeks into my garage build. I'll be ready to install my house wrap very soon and wondering on proper transition at bottom of the OSB. I've left the OSB 1/2 up from the slab to prevent moisture to wick up the sheathing. But now I'm wondering if I should tape over the sheathing and...

Makes sense. My area doesn't require it but I'll do it because I don't want to waste that extra wood. Too expensive to toss in the burn pile LOL Cheers, Claude

That’s how I was planning that part as well. How did you deal with the corners? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't have that option. Just me and my 22 years old son LOL I will split the walls in two, so just 12 feet but with sheating on, It might get heavy LOL

OK so this might sounds stupid to some but I can't wrap my mind around it somehow. I'm framing my walls tomorrow and will be installing sheathing before standing them up. The first wall is easy with the OSB being flush to the corner on both side. However when I go to do the other walls, if I...

Actually I'm ahead of the original lumberyard. The suggested I use four 2x10x10' and laminate my own. I said no thank you. They still delivered them but I can return anything I don't use. I'm positive, from looking at a few garages on my street that I'm ahead of 99% of garages in my...

I thought about it but the wait was going to be too long to get it besides I only have an SUV and even with something like a Ford F150 at 77", I still have 7" of play to get it in.

Not sure how you determined that its not a gable end since the roof is not in that drawing LOL. Its definetly a gable end, I know I'm the one putting them in. The 2 ply 9 1/2" was given to me by the lumberyard selling me the trusses and the LVL and will provide the specs on delivery tomorrow...

Here's first what I first thought and then what I will be doing. Remember I'm in Canada and there is no requirements for me to do this but since I had that extra 14", I might as well put it to use instead of just cutting it. We also get the odd weak Hurricanes out this way sometimes so why not...

I like the idea of putting it all to one side to have extra shearing strength. So I decided to go that way. I've seen other references to that effect as well. I'm just posting some JPGs of my own building plans, now in this tread. Thanks
