Peter and Ryan helped me assemble the first wall today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Peter suggested we face-nail the 2x10s along the top instead of letting it into the studs, which made assembly much faster.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Peter got started cutting while Ryan brought him boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The wall is made of 2x6s, between 12 and 16ft in length.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I put the cut boards into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Blocking is difficult because minor errors can accumulate to major ones over many blocks.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then we nailed it all together and squared it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
This sheathing provides shear-strength to the structure and something solid for the interior insulation to be installed against.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We covered the framing with 7\/16″ OSB sheathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
If moisture condenses on the wall of the fully-conditioned space in the summer, it will drip away instead of absorbing into the sheathing.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We then stapled on a vapor barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/a>
I’ve estimated the assembly weighs about 1,450 pounds.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We plan to erect the wall using two 2-ton-rated 20ft chain hoists hanging from the steel frame using slings and hooked into anchor points on the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The entire lifting system is rated for about 4x the actual load.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The anchor points are heavy-duty 1\/2″ D-rings attached with 3\/8″ x 5″ structural lag screws driven through the OSB into the 4×6 LVL header.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
