Can you get attic trusses in place of rafters, or vaulted ceiling or scissor trusses there? I used to work at a truss plant and built plenty of them. How are rafters better than attic trusses?
Ask the code inspector and the fire department about lightweight construction as it applies to building fires. Some codes now require some buildings to have a sign indicating that the building has lightweight/truss construction. ua-cam.com/video/9Py6fxjXNBg/v-deo.html
Do you think speaking about walking on trusses vs rafters would have been an important piece of information or storage of items on trusses vs rafters? Or am I wrong in assuming that you should never walk on trusses or store any items?
You can walk on trusses. You can also store items on trusses. Usually you'll lay down plywood across them when you want to store stuff but often you don't have much attic space anyway.
Truss uplift is a big disadvantage and I see tons of uplift causing drywall issues in North Texas. If you go truss, you have to allow for movement. Truss promoters never talk about this.
Not true that trusses give you less space. Scissor trusses, parallel chord gable trusses, etc, give you cathedral ceilings without heavy timbers and if you want attic space, attic trusses.
Typically the cost to deliver includes a crane to lift them up, at least near me. You do typically only get a set amount of time before you're charged extra though.
Build trusses onsite with a pattern on the subfloor. Use plywood gussets cut onsite too.
Such enthusiasm in your personality!
🤣

Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

You can absolutely design vaulted ceilings and attic living spaces with trusses.
Great video, thank you 🙏🏻
Which system gives you a more flat roof?

Thank you 😊
He's just looking at his script off camera! 😆
I feel like you were holding a giggle while explaining this for some reason
Nobody ever talks about the need for a crane and that additional cost.
Typically the cost to deliver includes a crane to lift them up, at least near me. You do typically only get a set amount of time before you're charged extra though.
Rafters are way better. Why would you not want to use attic space for storage or more?
Certain trusses can contain more attic space.
How about ol dude with the chainsaw wearing booty shorts?
