Steel beam over the garage huh? Who ended up doing the engineering for your house?

5/24/2013 9:51:35 PM

engineering tech. whats wrong with a steel beam?

5/24/2013 10:18:55 PM

Absolutely nothing. That's a choice the engineer made during the design process based on several factors, sometimes including the builders material preferences.

5/26/2013 2:19:36 PM

that's a heck of a span and I assume will have a decent load on it. Would much rather have a steel beam.

it has 2.5 floors sitting on top of it.

5/28/2013 1:51:17 PM

Nothing's wrong with a steel beam, they can just be pricy. Most builders would prefer LVLs over steel.

5/30/2013 7:07:41 AM

dont worry its packed full of lvls as well

5/30/2013 2:08:31 PM

Lol, I'm sure it is. Engineering Tech is good, they are one of my company's competition, but I know they do good work

i feel you. wettest summer I can remember in a long time. At least 95% of the items on my project at work is indoors. If we weren't re-using an existing structure we would have had a lot of setbacks this spring/summer.

9/4/2013 7:20:23 PM

any new pictures?

9/5/2013 7:44:34 AM

Not really. I'll take some tomorrow. The problem with being a builder and building your personal home is that paying work often gets in the way especially when you are a "hands On" type GC.

Cabinets started today. Tile is done in 2 of 3 baths. Granite for a week from Wednesday. Painter will start next week. Stairs and trim ongoing.

9/6/2013 10:17:21 PM

Got my CO today. Will post pics at some point lol

11/21/2013 2:17:02 PM

Gotta start considering rebuilding my parents house.

any tips on how to save money? contractors you'd recommend?

upgrades, equipment, appliances that are great for a new home? etc etc etc

The panels are a foam, engineered wood, and vapor/air barrier panels that are then taped together.

ZIP R-Sheathing is one of the brands.
