    Love seeing your kid work with you. Everyday when I'm dropping him off at preschool, my 4 year old tells me he's "going to help build with daddy when I get big enough", and am dreaming of those days.

    It was almost a throwaway comment but, "They have everything already set up by the time I get there..." says so much to those who can truly appreciate just how much of a big deal that is ! Not only that but it speaks volumes about the lads, their ethic and their involvement in the job as well. Respect to both of them and thanks to you and Greg for the continued entertainment and education as well = )

    Watching you calculate post heights based upon truss pitch numbers brings back memories. When I first showed up on the job with a construction Master calculator in the mid-1980s, the old-timers on the job thought I was literally doing voodoo. It took me quite a while to win them over. Eventually I was able to prove to them that I could cut commons, hip rafters, (and lay them out on the sawhorses) and jack rafters without crawling around on the ceiling joists 20 feet in the air to get measurements. The associated reduction in roof framing hours won several foremen over eventually.

    The other thing too on your rigging, those clevis's and straps are rated at 5 ton or whatever WLL or working load limit. That means that's the max rate they're guaranteed safe at. The failure or breaking point of those is often 50-100% higher than that. So 5 ton WLL means it could take as much as 10 tons to actually break it.

    A little note about rigging those Shackles, Kyle. The Pin of the Shackle should sit in the eye of the Strop - not against the ‘running’ leg of the Strop. When it’s against the running leg, it can wind the Pin out of the Clevis.

    • @psidvicious
      @psidvicious Місяць тому

      Technique explained is correct BUT rigging failure is extremely unlikely (to the point of impossible actually) because every pick is a new rigging. Shackle comes off and is re-rigged for the next pick. Repetitive picks on the same rigging setup, should be checked every few picks or wire the pin to the shackle body for added insurance.

      Not necessarily cheaper, and as far as strength, designed to commercial specifications, just as a steel building would be. Some of the oldest buildings in the world still standing are all wood. Examples; the Stave churches of Norway that were built nearly a 1,000 years ago.

    • @Bill_N_ATX
      @Bill_N_ATX Місяць тому

      The largest negative with wood in storage buildings is fire. While steel isn’t immune to the effects of fire, it doesn’t add to the fire. As for costs, it really just depends on a lot of different factors. It’s not as simple as one is cheaper than the other. There are a bunch of things that go into the equations. If one was always cheaper, there wouldn’t be the option. As the old expression goes, “Your mileage may vary.”
