Mistakes Happen….

I don’t like ladder work. Its a hassle and actually accounts for a fairly large number of falls. So we frame walls as big as we can and do as much to those walls as we can. In all my years of framing rake walls, I’ve never made a big mistake (famous last words). Well we made a mistake on this wall. It was a gable that had a glulam in it to span the room and support a ridge beam. And we framed it backwards. There are a variety of ways to fix it but sometimes its best to just put your head down and go to work. Click to watch the video.

What were the lessons learned postmortem? Always double check yourself….twice.
