Cold start to the new year. We have had a cold start too. Hasn't got above 39C which is great so far. Like the switch furring idea. Worked well with a bit of thought. Did a lot of flat roof builds in UK. Never did a warm roof version. We just built them. Roofed them. Packed them full of insulation from underneath. But then all the fancy insulation boards were just coming out. Like they are here 25 years later. Never seen them on a job yet. Still very expensive. Limited competition. That is a nice size addition. Will be very useful when completed.

Nice one Del, doing the same next week, we have encountered problems on the roof lights with the new insulation on the upstand fkin madness. I obviously noticed no wall plate I know it's probably not needed but easier with. Now the big question, Jiffy hangers, for years I always set my house plate on the ground and fixed my hangers before fixing the plate so the straps could be wrapped over and fixed from behind as they should be. After many years my Son convinced me no one does this anymore , still think I am right 😁👍
@thetallcarpenter Жыл бұрын
Hi Andy🖐You should, really, get full wrap on your joist hangers, and the way to describe is the only way to do it. However, I would normally use mini hangers for a flat roof like this, as they are smaller but still have 8 nails in each wing which is crazy strong💪 (the builders got me joist hangers instead) Hope you are well mate, and thanks for watching😎Cheers

@thetallcarpenter Жыл бұрын
Hi there🖐This would be fine with a parapet wall, and the only reason to use a wall plate is to give the joists something to fix to, and even then the plate still needs strapping to the wall, so I leave out the plate, solid block between each joist, and then strap from these blocks down onto the wall below👍I don't think there's a right or wrong in this instance, but I don't like to put timber in when it's not strictly necessary👊Thanks for your comment and for watching 😎 Cheers Del

What happened with the back wall in the end, did he build a parapet, also love the way how u done the joists firing detail to keep the facier as small a possible, is that pretty standard way to do it, as id like my roofer to do that when i extend next year, also it is usual to not have a top plate there. Sometime ive seem people bury the joist in the wall, is there any reason why u would do that, as ur way seems so much simpler, does it just depend what the local building regs are

Hi Jackzuk🖐I oversailed the roof at the ends instead of parapet walls. I have put the joists on a plate before, but as long as they are strapped down, it doesn't matter.
