Day 173 - Stripping the strapping

Tuesday September 27th, 2005

Sean and Patrick are busy stripping all the strapping and bracing from the ICF. Once this is completed, the WASS and all the wall bracing inside the building will come down also. The house will seem a whole lot bigger inside, once all the bracing comes down and out of there.

Meanwhile, Dave and Chris are busy putting the plates on top of the walls. After using the 2x12 for the scaffolding on the WASS, it is cut up as needed to be reused for the wall plates. The trusses will sit on top of the plates and be fastened to them with hurricane clips.

In the Small World department, Dave told me that Jennifer Dickson (mentioned in this Day 171 - Truss photos post) was a teacher of one of his classes at Algonquin.
