String line, static line , 4/0 electrical line- what could go wrong? #carpenterisanelectrician If this marks the beginning of the robots taking over our work, sign me up. #allterrainforklift - - - Getting ready to lay out rafters in the second photo- the cathedral ceiling in this building requires 20 ft. 2x12's. It's somewhat rare for our crew to frame roofs with sawn lumber, preferring fabricated trusses when possible. The comparison between the two modes becomes clear when using material like this- a 20-foot long, wide board takes a huge tree to produce. I think of this as a primary, or first-order material. Trusses are fabricated from much smaller lumber, sometimes engineered with finger joints and adhesive. These would be secondary or even tertiary materials- in my opinion a more ethnically appropriate material choice. - - - This building will have a cathedral ceiling instead of an attic, something else I'd prefer to avoid in our northern climate. A flat ceiling allows for appropriate insulation without resorting to spray foam. Damn. @macrowonderball strikes again. Hard to get any good natural light with all the recent cloudy days in the ADK's. - Made an "unnatural" board to take advantage of the graphic color change of this ash log- 2x heartwood towards the outside. The quartered grain matched up nicely at the centerline. . . . #carving #adk #woodcarving
