    Repairing / Reinforcing Roof

    Not necessarily a waste of $$ but with that said I can only imagine how much a 28' board is. Get your ridge straight and walls plumb first. Wedge the 28' in place and add bracing Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Photos in the link at post of OP's first post. They are not trusses but rafters, at least from the pictures in that link they are rafters. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Repairing / Reinforcing Roof

    Completely agree if you already have a solid 28' board. The purpose of the joists are to "pull" the walls in as the weight of the roof pushes them out, in theory creating equilibrium. In any case, if the attic is to be used as storage, webbing would be needed to support the added weight on the...

    Repairing / Reinforcing Roof

    I think there is a misunderstanding. Yes if he has already paid the super high premium for 28' use them without cutting. Should be ok without webbing. If he hasn't, do it the way I explained in my last post. Fyi cut in the center with a lap would be no different than a 20' and 8' with a...

    Repairing / Reinforcing Roof

    So I spoke with my dad (been a contractor for over 30 years) and his fix is not much different from mine. If the span is 28' (originally thought it was 26') which is what it sounds like, you need to take two 14' 2x6's butted together then lap with a 6' 2x6. Then truss it up by putting a 2x4...

    Detached Garage Build - Looking for Advice

    Quote list looks good. Do plan to have 10k for the rest of the stuff you didnt include. Otherwise good price. Regarding rebar: I know up in the northern states they dont use rebar as much, my guess is yall have more stable ground. Around here (south AR) we use it because ground shifting can...

    Repairing / Reinforcing Roof

    I was saying if you were putting in new joist it would be easier to put one side in then the other. Nail together at the joint. I may have said that weird idk. What is the distance wall to wall? Will you be putting any weight on the joist? Maybe this drawing will help explain. Sent from my...

    Detached Garage Build - Looking for Advice

    I assume you have very stable ground, hence no rebar in the footers (so it appears). As lakelandcat stated, I hope you have roofing included in that price. If not expect at least $4-6k (at least that would be what it is around here in AR) for material and labor. You would need about 30 square...

    Repairing / Reinforcing Roof

    A 2x6x14 lapped would be easier to work with in my opinion. Lap the joint at least 18" with a 2x4 coming down from the peak to the joint would be plenty strong. 3" framing nails toenailed to the plate and then nailed to the rafters would be sufficient as marctrees stated. Jack up the ridge and...

    Air tool oil, both air inlet and hammers

    The SAE 30 oil that is recommended for most engines have numerous additives in it them that help the oil perform better while clean the engine. SAE 30 is an oil standard for the viscosity or "thickness". So yes they reccomend it for the standard of the viscosity. There is regular SAE 30 oil...

    Air tool oil, both air inlet and hammers

    Yeah I've heard that about foaming. Some oils do foam and a lot at that from lubrisity tests I've watched, but some still lubricate as they are very sticky (think Lucas hub oil or really any Lucas oil) Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Air tool oil, both air inlet and hammers

    From what I've heard the detergents in the oil can eat the o-rings and seals. Non detergent oil in whatever weight is cheaper than regular oil. For the intake end get air tool oil. Think about this, 4oz of marvel air tool oil is 4ish dollars, you use a couple drops everytime you put it to hard...
