Great stuff. I like the use of the small bracing as you go along instead of struggling to get it under a long temporary brace flapping in the wind. I guess you just cut all those to 645 mm ish if it’s 600 centres and have them flush with the outside of each truss as you go along?👌👌
Mmhhh maybe talk to a few colleges ask about night courses? Or Apprentiship’s always tricky with that tho coz you obvs you need to earn more money and things but there’s always a way isn’t there!
Hi Mate. Just came across your channel recently and some great content. What camera and settings do you use for the time lapse? Looks mint 👌 Do you ever put the truss clips on the wall plate before installing the trusses?
Thanks pal! Glad you like the videos 👌 I’m just using a GoPro at the min. Think it’s the hero9. No mate we don’t fit the clips first but it’s not a bad idea 👌 can slot the trusses straight into the right place then 💪👌
i check the brick work before i start is pretty bang on, then measure each tail end off that, then check over it with a level after. i dont think you can trust the tails have been cut perfectly in the factory so i just use that as a guide to check roof isnt running out. cheers for your comment
Hi mate. Just after your opinion on something.... When lifting a pair of semis or a 3 block that have spandrel panels for the party wall how do you go about lifting them and bracing them? Do you lift all of the trusses and support them at one end and then spread them from the other end lifting the spandrels as you need them or lift and brace spandrel first and work from that? Cheers
@@dennykavanagh2785 yeah man I lie them down then just lift as we go. Used to put the hole pack against the table lift but health and saftey now say we arnt allowed to rest them against the scaffold! 👎🤣.
Looks a lot safer than when we used to do it before we even had safety nets. We used to remove the handrails and hand ball them up. That was a nightmare job in itself. Glad to see things are better in that respect. We also used to put whole packs lent against the scaffold after standing on the handrails to extend the tubes😂
@@hn9598 yeah it’s defo getting easier and safer which is good all round!! Garage roofs are the only exception, we still take the handrail down on them and lift the trusses by hand but there’s only 6 so isn’t too bad! Haha
@@tubbycarpenter9847 if you get that first truss nice and plumb and secured of the scaff, then copy what marks you have on your wall plate on to the temp bracing (holding the trusses together as we stand them) then in theory everything should be level as you come accross 👌 hope that makes sense and helps 👍
I wouldn’t really like to say tbh because it would vary a lot, where you are in the country, what type of work your doing, self employed to employed there’s lots of variables! But on average I’d say most can make a nice living out of the trade 👌👌
@@ashleydavenport3794 am from scotland an some sites up here are still using bean bags. everyday were saying to the agent to get tradeck here . so much easier
Yes that’s it mate, I’ve got a more in depth video you should check out. “Site carpentry - lifting and bracing a roof (in freezing conditions) I talk through it all on that video. Cheers for your comment 👌💪
