Larry Did you go with TGI's for floor joist ? Last job I used them on was my nephews house and he wasnt to sure about them until I got them in place with all the centering parts and the 1-1/8th Plywood on top of them.. could drive a car on it ,, now its OSB not quite as strong ,, but way cheaper.. as for metal studs . .I wouldnt want them in my house because if you ever had a fire ..it all will fall down .

Nice finishing touch. Is this local custom work? I'm a sucker for roll & pleat. My '67 interior will be done that way, in black.

I bet the other boys and girls in this school with your grandson sure wish they had a grandpa like you. I can see that in your family every one gets to learn equipment when young including you Larry ..Right?

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Glad you survived! I’m sure it was a steep learning curve

Your new home looks large and I am sure it will be beautiful, Larry. Would you mind sharing any drawings of what you are building?

It was 3 years ago right now we were building our new house. We had an excellent contractor who made the process fun and pretty easy for us. I am guessing you have an excellent contractor too….:)
