Fire blocking?
Click to expand...
No.
The only blocking required is on the butt joints of the exterior sheathing. Has to be stood up, vertical. So at that joint 8’ its mandatory. But, like I said before on here, i’m weird as fuck so i’m gonna block at 4’ too.
The main reason at 4’ also is that it’s 12’ walls. Studs are sort of a “C” shape lol. Just helps nailing the sheathing. I could just make a “story pole” stick and temporarily nail the studs straight before sheathing but. I’m weird.
Def will make hanging batts of insulation harder though :-(
 
Oh yeah. Also got all the landscaping done. Yesterday incase any of you are thinking i suck at framing. I’m also busy doing other shit too. Hella hectic schedule. I haven’t even fucking went fishing since the salmon opener! Fuck!

Plants are now caged. Next thing I need to do to them on my next break from building is throw the hoops up. Sprayed with conserve SC last night. Not gonna be my biggest but oh well. Late start. Gonna be some fire outdoor though. Wedding cake, Dolato, etc :hump:

Ever seen weed that looks like this? A friend was visiting yesterday and had this with her. It's supposed to be sour diesel, she bought an ounce of it on weedmaps. It's brown all the way through with practically no smell or visible trichomes and looks like tobacco when busted up. When she was smoking it smelled like burning wood, nothing like a normal weed smell.

When ever I would give a mate some cash to get smoke they would generally get stuff like that. Then be like this is all I could get, it’s generally followed with a look up and down with a comment like then why did you get it! As I glare at them and then smoke it anyways lol

Good work mate always looks good to stand some walls up. I noticed majority of timber frames in the US have what I assume from looking at photos are 6x1.5 studs. We use 2x4 well 90mmx45mm in OZ. What timber or pine do you generally use for frames? Your walls look solid as fuck anyways and you must be feeling the burn lifting those big bastards up. Your trees look solid as fuck to lol

Our nominal 2x4” studs are actually 1.5”X3.5”. 2x6 is 1.5”x5.5” etc.
Not sure about mm’s.
I used my tractor with the pallet fork attachment on the front to lift the walls. Wasn’t all that bad but still need a couple other heads to help.

2x6x12’ studs, 20’ sections. Equals heavy as fuck lol.

Unfortunately I couldn’t build all the walls on the ground first and stand them all up at the same time. There was absolutely no moving the walls around and stacking them once i framed them. That kinda sucked. I would have already been done with the walls :-(
