Why is this build taking so long?

It's been a stressful 6 weeks working on our Richmond units. We've had trouble with our foundation, prenailed frames, trusses, and more. Now, we are about to get our pre-roof inspection. Will we pass?

Hello from South Carolina USA . One of the most impressive things .. Is the scaffolding . I couldn't imagine being provided that much safety here . That would have been a dream come true . For clinging to a wall. Running siding , cornice . The best we'd be able to get . Was pump jacks , ladder jacks , scaffold bucks at best or the dreaded " Pudlock " Which is just 2x material jerry rigged . Walkboards were anything we could find . Sometimes you might have an aluminum walkboard . LVL or a 2x10 loaded with knots. There was never a worry of a Safety Inspector on high end or even low end residential . Roofs you just wing it and hang by your fingernails. Builder's and subcontractors just want it done and couldn't care less how . Since they aren't paying for surgery or funeral arrangements . In my 43 years as a carpenter . I've been lucky and only been in the hospital for 5 days . Once for a broken hip and broken hand after a scaffold gave way . Another for sliding off a roof and fell three stories , Fortunately I landed in the snow and missed a cube of brick. I've been enjoying all the down under carpentry vids I find . The fall protection is amazing. I like patient thinking carpentry and never the wide open rush . Your plans are different than ours. Here I haven't found one set that wasn't ever riddled without mistakes Spend half the day hovering over the plans and going on an Easter egg hunt . Started in 1981 working as a pack mule and we had to slap up two houses a week , Worked my way up to building the homes that'll make most carpenter's hair fall out . Walking around with a laptop and being tracked by GPS and laser total stations telling you that you are 1mm off. In my 43 years the technology has changed a lot . My career is essentially over as a carpenter because of stage 4 cancer , My passion is alive and wish I could impart my knowledge unto the young guns . Loved the work . Followed . Peace

I'm sorry to hear about your cancer. People with your skill set are slowly disappearing, and with them, the skills that we often think we don't need. Here in NZ, most of our frames and trusses are pre-made, so learning to figure out angles for rafter etc in becoming a rare skill. I managed to get a bit of practice here on the internal gutter though, which was great. I think all the rules around fall protection only came about 10 odd years ago. I certainly remember before that seeing builder walking around on top-plates without protection. It still happens, but it's not something I'm keen on. As I'm sure you know, it only takes one tiny mistake to change or end a life. In saying that, one thing I didn't including in this videos is how many times the scaffolders got it wrong on this job. On Friday they were back for a third time because they had built the platforms in the wrong place. They actually had one platform in the way of our soffit where the gable frames were replaced. You take care of yourself. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Absolutely. I would’ve been there for hours with an impact driver, with a sore back and sore knees otherwise

This build seemed like everything that could go wrong did but you made it to the other side. Is this normal re the mistakes with the framing? Who does the detailing for the pre nailed framing? Is this done off the plans?

@nakedapprentice 2 месяца назад

This was by far the worst I've seen, although, to be fair, I really haven't seen that many. It's normal to have a few minor issues, but to have so many trusses wrong, repeatedly, is very unusual. There's about a dozen detailers at that factory, and this one told me he does 6 houses a week, so they are under a bit of pressure. It is all done off plans, and sometimes plans aren't the best and are open to a bit of interpretation. I don't see how any of the issues on this one were the result anyone's mistake but his own.
