My understanding is lumber here has to be stamped by an inspector that measures the moisture. Most box stores sell Kiln dried 2x4's

Side note I worked for a company that shipped to China and they mandated heat treated pallet wood to kill any biologics. Pallet wood could not be chemically treated it had to be heat treated and stamped HT.

I watched that on one of them border smuggler series.
Some pallet loads came in from Hungary and they had not been heat treated, those loads got sent back.

Even here in the states some places require HT of firewood being sold

Just curious in the truss spacing

On my pole barn buildings. The trusses on one is 9'5/12 the other is 4/12 on.8' spacing.

It looks to me like you're on about 2' spacing - but, I can barely see right now

Am I seeing things right?

 

[ak diesel driver]

Pretty standard spacing around here. We have snow to deal with, also being on 2' centers allows plywood sheathing to be applied directly to them. Hopefully these trusses are overkill

I always use them metal clips between the trusses too.
Keeps the PW or OSB from bending, one sheet from another when they have to be walked on.

Dont hand me a hammer for such a speedy operation, fingers will get damaged.

My hammer doesn't move that fast

 

[MrMarty51]

My hammer doesn't move that fast

Mine can but if it does lets hope its not in my hands.

And @ak diesel driver I forwarded Your videos on to My stepdaughterinlaw.
She has a knack for getting stuff done around their place.
She is a real gogetter and I do believe that when She taps the follow on Your greenhouse build that She will be right out there putting one together.
Yup, she will do that carpentry work herself if Nick and Jade are too busy to pitch in.

The more rare thing here is the teamwork seen. As Denata pointed out doing his cinder block work: working alone is jot just hard but takes a long time to get some things accomplished. Putting the work in early to teach the next generation how to properly jump in and do it… that is the real skill easily missed here. Well done on that major task my friend.
