Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good morning Gents!

 

[GeorgeH]

morning folks

 

[GeorgeH]

Dang toolman, everytime I show up everyone takes off, I'm needing a hug?

 

[krazykuda]

Just flying by... Going in early for some OT....

There's lots of traffic out there just waiting for me to get in the way...

 

[GeorgeH]

Heya Karl

 

[ScampMike]

didn't take off - actually have some "work" to do...

 

[dukeboy440]

so check my math.

32 foot long wall x 24 ft wall. assuming a 16 inch on center, I'd need

32ft wall: 24
32ft wall: 24
24 ft wall: 18
24 ft wall: 18

Total: 84 total 4x4s....

I think I'll have that many when i break the pallets down.

I thought it was me! LOL Ha HA on the hug!

How about the top and bottom plates and the corners?

4x4 on 16 is overkill I think lol

working on that yet

Shouldn't it be ET if its Early Time?

 

[dukeboy440]

4x4 on 16 is overkill I think lol

yeah it is lol it's 18 inch on center for 2x4s by code but we always overkill and set everything to 16 in centers.

 

[dukeboy440]

actually, these being 12 foot long, I may build it pole barn style, thus eliminating the need for the top and bottom plates.

My brain doesn't want to do math right now, but you said you have 4x6's ? What is the true dimension? Ripping them in half?

 

[zkx14]

Structurally it is, but most sheet goods are designed for 16 centers. Both for size and with regard to warp/flex

4x4 is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

 

[toolmanmike]

I had to think about that myself. A 4' wide sheathing panel would work with a 16" o/c 4x4.

 

[zkx14]

4x4 is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

I meant of his pallet wood. That could be any size true measure. Just wondering what he can get out of them if he cuts them.

Sorry, yes, they are 4x6s typo on my parts.

 

[zkx14]

Sorry, yes, they are 4x6s typo on my parts.

Actual? or are the 3.5 x 5.5?
Either way if you rip in half they are more than a 2x4. I'd probably 'Barn frame' it with 4x6 in corners and maybe a couple in between, and rip the rest of them to finish out on 16s. What are you going to sheath it with?

what rip them in half and get 2 x 3s?

You said sheath!!!!

 

[zkx14]

Yeh, I caught it and left it just for you. LOL

That was my next thought. my pole building is built on 8' centers, but no clue how far in the ground they are as the building was already here.
