  • In this episode of my dream shop build series, we have a crazy second story framing install. We have a large span I-joist floor system with LP Legacy Sublfoor! Even though it spans 45 feet, I was able to get away without needing any support columns and check out how well it turns out!

    Lots of fun.
    Road trip.
    Cold weather.
    Tough "Man Work."
    You do a great job explaining what you are doing as you do it.
    I agree.
    Lagging a second set of LVLs with hangers applied, to the girder, might have been an easier but a bit more $$$ option.
    I'll be scouring more of your channel since I will be creating a design for a 60' by 100' shop soon.
    (I'm recommending a steel framed project just to ensure clear span can work)

  • @ryanmaffei975
    @ryanmaffei975 4 місяці тому +4

    I have used the same i joists for projects. In the situation where your truss has a 2x12 the top of the i joist needs to be supported with web stiffener blocks at the end for proper supporting strength. The hanger doesnt support it properly, due to the void in the "web" of the joist, or you can have the rimboard there to support the weight at the end.

    Great job on the floor, we had a similar floor experience and after our engineer came out he recommended we install three cables from outside beam to inside framing in three of the floor spaces with ¾” eye bolts each end then when tightening it helped with any outside wall to the truss flexing, locking it all together ours was only 30’ long. In the old days they use to use solid rods with plates and bolts on the outside of the buildings lol.

    Awesome! Good Idea for a server room and Top Secret Space. The one thing I would recommend for security cameras is Ubiquiti equipment, I do IT, so it's the best for installs, but I have a second location for my NVR if possible ran with fiber cable. I have seen and heard from security people that if the criminals see that unit for cameras, it is gone too. It may not happen always, but it is happening more and more often.
    Oh, and that Subfloor foam glue is 10 times better than pl400. Polyurethane caulk is excellent, but between the coverage and adhesive properties of the foam glue, it's a clear winner.

    Good job! Some ideas, you could have used 2x12 + a 2x4 for your ledger boards to save cost and do the same on your truss so your not nailing joist hangers into truss plates. It might have been easier to place the joist hanger on the truss side ledger, as you set the I-joist. You could block the I-joist to stiffen the floor and I think you mentioned 16" oc. One last thing is, would start the sub floor sheathing at the wall, with groove at wall, tongue out from wall.

    I had to do the math on your floor since I'm an EWP designer. You stated you had a span of 22' 10-7/8" with a 12" on center spacing. Using our BCI 14" 90s I joist, here are the results. Your max deflection is .312", or 5/16", in the center of the joist. Damn near zero bounce. Not bad. I have the calc sheet saved if you like.

    Hey kyle, awesome to watch you guys and have done for some while now. I think you had around 2-300k when i first started. im a carpenter myself from Norway and like to always look for new and better ways to build, and have taken alot from you guys in terms of efficiency :) In Norway we build very similar to Switzerland so you have kind of seen the materials and methods we use. keep up the great work and learning you do for all the carpenters out there on the world :)

    I was lost in the reasoning not to run twin lvl’s on the bottom cord of your girder truss. Hearing you at 26:40 confess brought me renewed peace.

    One thing I would have done with the large truss is to...
    1 use a jack to eliminate the negative vertical deflection
    2 face each complete side with 3/4 OSB product fastened with decking glue and ring shanks on 6" centers on all truss members
    this would stiffen, straighten, and help control the deflection. another advantage would be to remove total reliance on the nail plates. i just don't trust them over time with an active load.
