Strong tie from bolts to footing and bolts to corner post which is 6"x6" post. You can see on in picture 2 http://compare.ebay.com/like/2005456...Types&var=sbar

This one connects to the ridge board to the rafters http://www.lowes.com/webapp/wcs/stor...nger%20LSSU210

Simpson has the market corner with all the brackets they sell.

Default Made some progress

Set all the rafters today and the ridge board before the heavy rains hit. Got the walls sheated also. Had to tarp the roof to keep all the rain out for the week or so. At this rate might get this room finished in a year,Lol.

Installed the new windows in the dining room and living room on Saturday. Note, winter in MI is not the best time to replace windows. Need to get the casing and boards to make the expansion and extension jams. Hopefully find someone with a pancake compressor for the nailer. Don't want to run air hoses from the big compressor all through the house.

Default Moved ahead this weekend

Spent my New Years weekend at the coast and managed to move ahead on the project for my wife. I can now finish the plumbing rough in and electrical rough in for inspection. Have to have it approved before I can have a framing inspection approved, then I can put a roof on. Covered it all up to keep the rain out for now. I have to admit the valleys kicked my butt, hard to get the old and the new to match together correctly. Also the new roof comes in lower at the facia boards with the larger overhangs. But once I start on the other roof I should be able to match things up some what. Almost like working on the Chevelle trying to get everthing to line up. Luck out with the weather, just cold and clear after having record rain last week.
