General So, my buddy and I are building a shop.

Temp in place
Pulling off, sheath, replace, forget about until tornado

You'll appreciate this- bolts were welded @ 24".
Obviously, studs are 16" center.

When maths collide.....
So, uh, decisions were made on the fly today.

It'll look great from the neighbors yard.
I'm just fucking glad we didn't do it all "the right way" and then try to stand them

Fine

 

[MountainMedic]

We're winging every step of this shitshow

"Passes inspection for $500?"

Grind and weld, no holes

makes sense
sheathed 2x6 walls get heavy real quick esp lifting by hand

It's a 3 foot stub wall! It's not like they are standing up a 40 foot stretch of 8 foot walls!


Alright, I got that out of my system, I digress.

 

[MountainMedic]

Lol, parade of randos today asking how we are doing it and would we do it for them.
To the point it got weird..

That would probably be easier. Lifting onto those not at all consistently spaced bolts, 10' off the ground, marking, lay it back down, find out 2 bolts meet 16" oc studs, drill anyway, lift and remount....

Pain in the dick all day.

Looking good, how is the arm doing

Shockingly well. I got super lucky.
I was hooking up those trusses to the crane yesterday morning and it was a little sore but fine.
I'll take it, I was convinced I damaged a connection point or something due to the unreal pain and figured something had to have bled alot because I rarely bruise and literally never like that in my life.

Its probably 95%. Push-ups are still off the table for probably another week or two.

 

[MountainMedic]

Wind started to pick up towards the end, got a little western lol.

People are just showing up "wow, what are you guys building?"
Had a porta potty guy show trying to get business.

Guys, were a little busy and we're paying Mr Crane here $180/hrs. Not right now please....

@Wild we need an "awesome!" emoji, right now all I can really give this is a thumbs-up, and that seems insufficient.

 

[Whatupyo]

In for when you hit the finish line. Pretty fuckin awesome man

Is there gonna be a wall on the backside of that structure or is it a drive right thru type of deal

Wall. Thats next. Per conversations with both crane guy and a carpenter that came to help (he rocked) they both said close the end first before the roof or the wind could vortex through and apply alot of upward pressure. It's pretty tall and a windy area. Gets real out there sometimes.
We're not doing it twice, lol.
