" We're building 826 foot wide eighty feet long storage building. The first fifty foot portion of it is for boat storage and then the last thirty feet. Apartment for automotive storage -- look at the elevation so that our viewers have an idea what we're talking about that eighty foot length building. Fifty feet of -- are higher so that you can put in a big boat. The other part the part that's being framed right now it's just it was definitely time here's AB this is eight feet rightful put new -- about yes exactly and then those of the gable ends right. And that that's right right right looking at right now is trying to determine what we want to use for overhead doors yeah possesses. Access to get anything in here now I can see how we have a overhead doors. These normal nine by seven feet dimensions that -- fourteen by fourteen foot opening this is going to be a custom build -- And have been in contact with so some people who specialize in this dealing with and company down in new owners -- managers do you have. I slip -- doors they -- nice to have that beautiful. Well these interest in these look like some of them could be made as regular out swinging doors right that's the way and a -- think about doing now one big bill. Well what about something like this'll actually I wouldn't want glass in the doors that being -- but about something like this that looks nice now right now like the idea of having lots of vertical and horizontal pieces rails and styles that kind of break. Break visually break the opening. Right in with. Like the double. Just hang -- on hinges because of such a heavy door yes it tough to get on. Contracts -- like this and we just the -- it for the smaller dimensions. That would work yeah what did you look at surprises on this force I think they would they would look good there but can't."
" Let let's talk a little bit about. How you actually join these different beams together it's either you got lap joint right yes that's the lap joint Bob we have a -- pipes and beam which is sitting atop the posts. There half laughed. As the intersection. And we'll be drilling down in through the top -- locking those -- together -- toe nailing just to hold in place while it is -- it exactly and we have a -- to open -- system. You got that one have a drill that -- one inch I should fathers bits yeah accidentally eighteen inches long -- Arnold and it's now. And on top of the to. We begin with a lag -- and and one of these -- his pre cut at eighteen inches. They're tapered at one end which allows the hammering into that wall. With a lot more eased -- case. It's an okay can sheer strength should be okay itself relief plan. Any pulling apart of that became -- and it make these yourself I actually we have manufacture up in northern New Hampshire that specifies that received bags fellas next pretend that it's it's in place there. Yeah I -- because -- we'll sweltering in drying what like right up. So that secures the joint down through the -- about lateral motion. We use a wooden gusset plates that Bob and we have a sample plate -- and what we do on the wooden gusset plate is the use of plywood template. To mark out the actual -- Hole location but the gusset itself is just -- a two by twelve. It's correct it's a two by pine native pine to match to reference -- and you put the bevel on the edge bevel on the edge OK. We also. Install a gusset plate with a sixteen penny finish nail on each corner to hold it in place prior to the drilling and taking OK as they can see here with Dave during the editing process -- This one's already in place. Daddy do the same thing on the outside of the a thread on the on the outside of the frame will be cutting the pigs watch so that when they're stressed in pencil panel comes into play he'll have a flush treatment on. On the outside -- terrific. All right inside this base there a couple of partition that come in those and here's an example when you've got a post. That's right up on top of the slab how do you worry about that about you remember before we put that slab we had a flooding already put in place which that we don't -- post is going OK that takes care of any you know downward. Load so that Africa they would the slab won't crack but what about it being kicked out of place. Positive done that over here happily yes what we've done as we need to secure the bottom of these freestanding posts so that it can prevent any type of lateral movement. So what we've done here on these locations as we've marked the exact location system he's got this thing right here for a deal -- in the -- we've drilled down into the concrete we've taken out any debris from the drilling we've -- that tangled ball right down into the slab OK on the other end of the freestanding post we've. I build a half inch diameter hole into the bottom of the posts so that we'll seated and properly and prevent any movement pretty basic okay let's get this guy up here. And -- Then you just. A little bit like Lincoln like after all isn't it. All right and then you keep on doing the same systems with the other one up and then you put the gusset plates on right."
