The old ranch house will soon gain a second level. The open concept living space requires extra planning for support of the second story.
Now that the first floor walls are framed, Jeff is ready to place the main support beam. Kevin finds the crew maneuvering the 1200 pound PSL beam. The new deck off the back of the house will block the existing basement windows.
The homeowners want some light in the basement incase they decide to later improve the space. Kevin watches as a hole is cut in the old foundation for a basement window. Jeff and his team are big fans of the laminated strand lumber used for framing on this project. Kevin travels to Kenora, Canada to find out how and where it comes from. Plant manager Bill Candline gives him a tour. Back at the project, framing continues on the new upper level of the house. Tommy, Jeff and Jeff's crew are ready to raise the new gable ends.

It will be difficult and near impossible for that person to find comparable compensation if their experience is not applicable. I fully agree that anyone who's in a job that they don't want (or has the foresight to see that they will be replaced by a machine) should be taking steps to change their situation.

Another EZ way is a few well placed 2x4s nailed vertically to the outside building line. That way, the plate can always be shoved over with a good sledge hammer, to position the plate correctly. That hinge is another good way, but it requires more labor, and is prone to error. Consider all the extra labor that will be required, if that "hinge" is not positioned correctly.

It could be a vfd but a 400hz motor does boost the power density a bunch. Likely it's to reduce the size of the motor to make it man portable. The increase in power (density) he mentioned isn't out of line.

@ElectricGears 3 жыл бұрын

@@1boobtube Quite correct. It might not even be a VFD since 400Hz is actually common for (US) military stuff. It was standardized over 60Hz equipment long ago before modern switching power supplies. In addition to the higher power density, any magnetic elements like transformers automatically shrink significantly. Pretty much all AC electrical stuff on aircraft is 400Hz.
