Waching daily Feb 5 2019

hey good morning guys it is Monday we're back on site day 4 we got snow which

means first thing we've got to do is clean everything up we got to uncover

all of our piles thankfully we thought about it on Friday and we went and

covered up all of our lumber piles before we left the most that we could I

mean with with as much as we could what really stinks here

so that's probably the worst part about winter builds is you never quite know I

mean last week this site was pretty darn perfect it was firm enough due to the

cold that we weren't working in mud never last

now we're gonna be working in snow and what happens is if we don't clean up

like our scissor lift if we don't clean off the machinery it just becomes more

of a mess and I don't think we're gonna see any Sun today which means it won't

melt I don't think we're even gonna see above freezing I mean it's it really is

quite a pain you can see we didn't have anything to cover up this pile here so

those are all two by sixes which is unfortunately I guess I didn't think

very well that's what we're gonna use first to make our fascia so the goal

today is to try to get the machinery around the site so we can put our tails

which is going to create our two-foot overhang and then put our fascia boards

on that way we can prep to get roof steel on it's a 16 foot tall building

it's just kind of standing out there and the structure of a post frame the real

diaphragm strength does not come into play until the steel is secured on the

roof and the walls

see now we don't have a horrible mess of snow and ice on our lumber so glad we

thought about putting those tarps on I don't know whose idea was probably

Greg's probably not one really important thing to remember is when your winter

building you got to remember where all your piles are we kind of forgot about

this one right here behind me and Greg was like oh yeah we got rough steel over

there so got to make sure we uncover everything so we know where it's that

that would really stink to drive the skid loader right over a pile of rough

steel and probably cost ourselves a couple thousand few thousand dollars so

you can see what happens when we don't cover our material and it snows out it

turns into a bunch of ice and a lot more time on the jobsite

before we can use it this is what we call our tail it's what creates our

two-foot overhang and when we make it two-foot overhang we use a 2x4 four

footer and when we do a one foot overhanging we use a 32 inch 2x4 now all

we're doing is we're driving some sixty penny nails in two of them up on the top

over the truss and some people ask me why we don't just have our tres

manufacturer of IVs in the factory honestly because most likely they're

gonna break off and that's just due to the nature of coming out on site the way

they get installed no matter what I'm gonna have to set these to the right

dimension which is two foot off yeah I could run a string line and snap them

but to be honest this is a lot easier and it allows us to straighten the

building later otherwise we would have to straighten it then cut them off and

it just wouldn't work out I mean maybe that doesn't make sense but it's hard to

straighten here but it's easy to put a string line and straighten the fascia

and make sure that looks good and you can't really do that until you've cut

your overhangs to the right dimension if they come factory applied okay I realize

that might be confusing if the tails are installed at the factory and let's say

they make them a little bit long and then we're supposed to just cut them to

be correct we would have to straighten the wall and the trusses before we could

snap a line or do whatever so that we could cut them

effectively so to me this is the easiest way this way we can make them like we

want them we can measure into our post and set them right at 2 foot and then

once our fascia is on we'll come back and we'll put a string line or the laser

whatever we can do to verify that everything is straight that way we know

if we straighten the fascia then our building is straight also better that's

better okay I gotta give GRK some love you can see here this is

their new screw design they changed the top

they changed the shaft the shaft here is longer so it doesn't grab and pull your

material apart as you're going into your let's say two two by fours but what's

the best thing is look at that I can put the screw on the bit which this is a

newly designed bit as well and I can do this with one hand

you gotta know you'll go a little lower or a little higher because it's gonna go

in yeah we're doing in a couple years so

when doing grade board on a foundation wall it's a little bit different because

well you don't have to be different but we like to add a little bit of an extra

level of protection for wind or air felt infiltration because we're not having a

backfill or something to be sealed up against that grade board like a typical

building we're finished floors four inches up on the grade board here the

whole point of the foundation wall is to keep everything up out of the dirt out

of the gravel out of the weather and hopefully it'll last forever so having

that concrete sticking up means that there can be a connection between our

grade board and the concrete where there's not a good seal so we use a roll

of this ASP sealant tape nothing extremely special about it it's used

typically on hips ridge valleys what's nice about it is it expands to fill the

gap so even if there's some imperfection between the straightness of the wall or

maybe there's a little bit of a chunk knocked out of our grade board I don't

know whatever that could be you roll this through the grade board and when

you put it down it expands and closes the gap creating your seal so there's a

good example of the foam you can see where it's expanded already here this is

the end of a roll where it's really tight so it's not expanded nearly as

much but it'll all just fill up I think about an inch gap is what it can fill up

and keep sealed pretty good product will flip this over to the wall like this guy

create a nice seal

so one of the nice things about when you run your purlins on top of the trust

like this is it gives you your overhang so you can just run the purlins long

here we run it two foot long actually one foot ten and a half inches by time

we add our two by sub fascia that will give us our two foot over hey

let's put the bedding closer I had planned

all right we're just gonna be good okay

huh okay

well it's definitely been a cold morning I thought when we got here it was gonna

be a fairly decent day because just felt kind of nice and warm but the breeze has

picked up has not had any Sun we're getting the overhangs done we're getting

the grade board done and hopefully we can prep I don't know if we'll be able

to do any roofing because there's ice and snow up on the purlins so unless we

get some UV rays burning through the clouds and it can start melting that off

those tops of the purlins I don't know if we're gonna be able to roof unless we

go in a hand scraping which we're not doing that so what I'm doing here is I'm

cutting up all of our wall bracing and we we used to do just a slanted board

from the bottom to the top and if you've seen post framing before you've probably

seen that angle bracing it's actually not very effective

anything over 45 degrees so if your board is pitched any more than 45 in

your angle brace you start losing effectiveness and strength on that shear

detail so what we started doing was a double X we stole that from an

engineered building project that we had done for somebody using somebody else's

package so I stole it because I liked it and I think it gives us a lot better

shear strength to our wall especially until we get that steel skinned

diaphragm on so what I'm doing is basically I've done all the calculations

in the warmth of the trailer and I was able to get the dimensions needed

and I always like to use this little I mean this is a cheap Stanley square it's

got the protractor little arm that kind of swings around and you can change the

degree to whatever you want and it just makes it very easy to do repeatable

repetitious marks for your cuts somebody already got it out dead battery

hopefully now you can see this makes sense that's our wall bracing that's our

X bracing was what we call it and instead of just doing like from right

here if I'm looking at my camera here all the way up to the top a lot of

people will just run one board from top to bottom

anything over 45 degrees is not nearly as strong as something at 45 degrees or

less to resist that lateral strength being pushed against it let's say and

when loading or whatever so we always try to keep this under 45 degrees these

ones are forty four point two I do believe so these are going to be super

strong we're gonna have a double X which means we'll have an X on the bottom and

then we'll go ahead and put another X right above it and that helps stiffen

this wall up real nice so we can feel good about putting the roof on and doing

all the next-level stuff like putting windows in knowing that it's not gonna

go anywhere and get out of level on us

Greg I am at the I meant the Eclipse I'm at my prime I will never be better in my

life you think I'll get better what are you thinking I'm past it Oh Greg I can't

even believe it are we friends are we not friends

true at my primary project you might be wiser than 30 old pal but I don't know

30 Lauer's he was the real deal man I mean are you gonna make a memorial for

30 year old cow I would be very ripped I feel like there was a time when I had

the leanest your veins will have that in the mirror of my veins will have a those

days are coming back you just wait

I didn't know what you're talking about you've been pretty sick yeah whatever

you want to call it

so now that we've got these X braces done here I feel really good about these

walls not moving on us the chains are gonna help aid that until the steel is

done and you might be asking is there any reason why you put them where you

put them and to be honest some of them especially this one behind me is there

because normally I would come off the corner and put them right in the corners

but we've got windows back there so I thought I'm just gonna skip a bay and

then over here honestly I just matched it so I was able to be efficient because

all three of those bays were the same width which meant my angles were the

exact same so I was really just being efficient as possible and there really

was no rhyme or reason as to where I put them other than the one that had the

window in the bay right next to it also a little side note today not the most

productive we've done some window framing we've done some grade board

we've done some fascia boards some overhangs

and some X bracing on our walls we're gonna go ahead and try to straighten out

and square the building as best as possible so that hopefully tomorrow

morning the snow and ice that's up on those purlins is gone enough to a point

where we could start roofing because that's what we want to do but it's just

not the smartest move to rush into the roofing side of it until some of that

ice and stuff is gone and obviously we can't put steel over top of the ice

because when the ice melts the screws not gonna be down all the way and then

you just got all sorts of problems so we're gonna go ahead and spend some time

the rest of the day probably cleaning doing some other blocking miscellaneous

you know just all that nitty-gritty boring stuff that doesn't actually look

good because you never notice it but hopefully it'll help aid in the

efficiency later on

too much I don't want to get a copyright cleaned ragged here singing a song

that's copyrighted so when when we're ready to do straighten out our building

the string is the easiest way to go because it never lies if you tighten it

between two points it will be straight now when it gets windy the string line

does not very effective because you might get a little bit of a bow and if

you're using a short building or you're laying out a short building it can be

okay but once you get to a point where the string is getting a bow in it you

got to either use a laser or wait till it's not windy luckily for us we don't

have any breeze blowing this string line so we're gonna go ahead and try to

straighten out this building with the string you've probably seen us do it a

couple times but we're just gonna go trust by truss and tail by tail and push

and pull it so that it's lined up with the string and that will give us a

straight building from one end to the other just at the trusses the fascia

could have a bow in and out and we take care of that when we're roofing so what

we like to do is actually have our string line established we just take our

square and we basically just kind of plumb it up and see where the string is

in correlation with the backside of the fascia that way we know as long as we're

just kissing our square on every one and you can tell we've got a chain down

there way down there about in the middle of building where it's really far in and

we probably you know we never actually leveled or plumbed up our chain when we

brace the building we just put it on and now it needs to be adjusted

appropriately you can see the chain over that way going down there to that center

post so we got to make some adjustments no

big deal this tale when I put my square watch

this see how I'm past it that means I need to

move I need to move this truss that way oh it's more lined up with the string

here so this one here we got a wedge just a little bit just a hair more Zach

yeah perfect so we're achieving that Zach's down

there and he's basically just putting a little wedge to tighten the tension on

our chain just enough and you can already see the improvement in our

fascia it's already looking a ton better just by basically moving one or two

chains because we've spent the time at the beginning of the job when we were

standing our walls to use that 12-foot stabile a plate level to set the walls

in the brackets with all the lags and the through bolts plumb in the first

part so that way when we got to this point there shouldn't be a ton of

movement because it should be in a straight line if we start straight we

end straight

thirty two eight and five eighths is my diagonal okay what will we drink thirty

three and five-eighths how about thirty three eight and five

days does that make we're still way off your heavy yeah we know it needs to go

back we double-check our measurement thirty three eight and five eighths I'm

going for right there and I want to be thirty three eight and five eighths I'm

about half-inch Zack we need to loosen the chain going this way we need to go

that way but you got it you're burning a foot okay that was too much Zack we went

about a half into the other way so one layer the other we need to wedge it take

that link off and now let's wedge it dude you only got to come let's say

eight incher better a little more dope hold that right there I would say

that's pretty good 33 8 five-eighths I think we like it so because the

dimension was long when we measured our peak dimension based off of you know

using the calculator to figure out the diagonal dimension based off of the rise

and run that's the easiest way to get square on your roof framing because of

my diagonal was bigger than what I wanted it to be we went ahead and we

pulled the chains we loosened the one side tighten the other and that's what

brought that peak back the way we want it to go which reduce the dimension on

our diagonal bringing us to the perfect square once we've gotten our fascia on

the eave perfectly straight with that string line made sure that all of our

walls were plumb the last thing to really do is to get that peak where you

want it so that your square that way when you start roofing your metal sheets

you can lay it all out and everything runs in a nice straight line and doesn't

have that nasty jag at the bottom of your roof panels where you got you know

from one sheet to the next you kind of got this like wave going so if anybody's

ever installed metal or sheeting or anything you know exactly what I'm

talking about so now that we've got our peak squared up to our even everything

is good there that doesn't mean that our end fascia is straight so then we just

kind of eyeball it if it's a really big building sometimes we'll put a string on

it or we'll use a laser in this instance it's not that far off I think right

about where a gusset plate is on our truss we just need to give it a little

bit of pull so we're gonna hook a chain up on the top cord of our truss will

pull it the other way that we needed to go and we should be good we'll see how

we do so we're gonna go ahead and pull our chain let's see what happens give

another link there Zack that's too much take it off wreck the wedge it

okay wedge it we need a little bit more Zach yeah that's pretty good there I

like that now we just got to fix this bottom once we fix the bottom we should

be pretty good all right it's about the end of the day here I'm gonna start

putting stuff away we got the building straightened out so tomorrow the calling

tonight for some drizzling rain ice which could be really bad for us because

we basically didn't roof today because of the ice up on the purlins it's almost

gone and if it comes in tonight in a storm or something it's just gonna put

us back into that much further regardless I hope you guys are enjoying

the video series so far I'm trying to kind of highlight and show a little bit

of the different stuff I know I've I've probably shown a lot of these techniques

but I'm trying to kind of show them in either more depth or maybe a little

different way so you know I hope you guys are enjoying it and if you are

please hit that subscribe button show me some love drop a comment down below

letting me know what you think and you know more importantly I think is if you

share the video maybe we can reach more people show them how awesome post frame

can be how much fun you can have in the trades and how gratifying it is just to

be out here building something even though it's cold even though we got

setbacks with the weather I'd still rather be here than an office any day

not knocking offices just not for me so you guys have a great day I'm gonna get

cleaned up headed home to the wife and kids we'll catch you guys back here

tomorrow later

Liverpool's goal against West Ham should not have stood for offside - Duration: 1:28.

Liverpool missed the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table on Monday, but it could have been worse if Sadio Mane's goal had not stood

James Milner was clearly offside when he was passed to by Adam Lallana, and Mane ended up giving the Reds the lead

Sportsmail's Mark Clattenburg is here to clear up what happened.  The mistake which led to Sadio Mane's opening goal for Liverpool came about entirely because of the assistant referee's poor positioning

This highlights how important it is for the assistant to stay in line with the second-last defender

In this case, Simon Beck was a good couple of yards out of position and that is probably why he felt James Milner was onside, because the attacker comes from his left-hand side

In that situation, instinct would tell Beck that Milner was onside.However, it is clear this was an error on the part of the assistant and Liverpool's goal should not have stood

Alyssa Milano, Elizabeth Warren sent letters by lawyers for Covington Catholic teen Daily Mail Onl - Duration: 8:29.

Alyssa Milano, Elizabeth Warren sent letters by lawyers for Covington Catholic teen Daily Mail Onl

More than 50 celebrities, politicians, and media organizations could face a lawsuit from the teen at the center of the Covington Catholic High School controversy. 

Lawyers representing Nick Sandmann, the teen in a Make America Great Again hat seen smirking at Native American activist Nathan Phillips in the video, sent preservation letters out on Friday. 

The letters are seen as the first step in possible libel and defamation lawsuits. 

Among those who received the letter were Alyssa Milano, Jim Carrey, Sen Elizabeth Warren, Kathy Griffin, Savannah Guthrie, Bill Maher, and Rep Ilhan Omar. 

National media outlets including the New York Times, CNN, and TMZ also received the letters, as did the dioceses of Covington and Lexington and the archdioceses of Louisville and Baltimore.

More than 50 celebrities, politicians, and media organizations could face a lawsuit from the teen at the center of the Covington Catholic High School controversy 

Lawyers representing Nick Sandmann sent preservation letters out on Friday to the likes of Alyssa Milano and Kathy Griffin

The preservation letter asked the individuals and organization not to destroy any documents that could be connected to a potential case. 

Please preserve all information that may be relevant to the Sandmann Matter, the letter reads. 

If our clients pursue litigation, we intend to serve...with discovery requests to access your computer networks and systems, and to see the production of relevant documents and communications. 

Documents could include early drafts of articles regarding the video, emails among staff discussing the story, or tweets sent by the celebrities and politicians.   

Sandmann and his family are being represented by a team of seven lawyers that have been working on the case full time. 

They include Todd McMurty and experienced libel and defamation lawyer L Lin Wood. 

Sen Elizabeth Warren and Rep Ilhan Omar also received letters in response to the tweets they posted regarding the controversial video 

We want to change the conversation, McMurty told the . We dont want this to happen again. We want to teach people a lesson.

There was a rush by the media to believe what it wanted to believe versus what actually happened. 

Sandmanns name became headline news after videos that circulated on Twitter showed him smirking at Phillips while the Native American elder played a drum. 

The teen was surrounded by peers from his all boys school, who had been bused from Kentucky to Washington DC for the anti abortion March For Life rally. 

Video showed the teens chanting and performing the Tomahawk Chop, surrounding Phillips as he continued to beat his drum.   

Milano equated the MAGA hat with the new white hood, in reference to the Ku Klux Klan, after watching the viral video

Carrey made the teens the subject of one of his political paintings, titling it Baby Snakes

The short clips caused a firestorm on Twitter as major celebrities including Milano and Carrey, as well as Debra Messing and Chris Evans, responded. 

Milano equated the MAGA hat with the new white hood, in reference to the Ku Klux Klan, after watching the viral video. 

Griffin tweeted that she wanted the names of the boys in the video to be publicized and encouraged people to shame them. 

If you think these f asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk s wouldnt dox you in a heartbeat, think again, she added. 

Ps The reply from the school was pathetic and impotent. Name these kids, she added. 

Griffin later deleted a tweet that showed a photo of Covington Catholic High School basketball players, in which she claimed they were throwing up the new Nazi sign.

Griffin tweeted that she wanted the names of the boys in the video and encouraged people to shame them

Rep Omar was one of the few politicians who specifically spoke out against the teens 

Warren, who recently launched her campaign for the 2020 presidential election, spoke out in support of the Native American elder Nathan Phillips 

Carrey made the teens the subject of one of his political paintings, titling it Baby Snakes. 

Warren wrote that Phillips had endured hateful taunts with dignity and strength. 

New details of the story then emerged, revealing that a group that calls themselves the Black Hebrew Israelites had been shouting racist statements at the teens. 

Phillips, it turns out, had been trying to intervene between the boys and the religious sect.  

The preservation letter asked the individuals and organization not to destroy any documents that could be connected to a potential case

As both Sandmann and Phillip began giving interviews to share their side of the story, celebrities started backtracking and deleting their angry tweets. 

There are two sides to every story. I made a snap judgement based on a photograph and I know better than to judge to a book by its cover, Jamie Lee Curtis tweeted. 

I wasnt there. I shouldnt have commented. Im glad there wasnt violence. I hope these two men can meet and find common ground as can WE ALL! 

McMurty claims the incident permanently stained Sandmanns reputation and said he has concluded that there is good faith basis to sue. 

For the mob to just go tear apart a 16 year old boy is inexcusable, the lawyer said. Hell never be able to get away from this. 

McMurty plans to demand retractions and apologies in addition to possible litigation, but said not all organizations who were sent preservation letters will necessarily be sued.

How To Take Personal Responsibility For Life & Business, Mindset Shift Time! - Duration: 7:51.

hi, there my name is Karen Hewitt and Welcome to it's your time to blossom.

I am so excited its Feb 2019 We have done a rebrand a refocus and guess what there will

be videos every Monday Wednesday and Friday.

Maybe more lol.

Make sure you subscribe and hit that notification bell

SO what are we going to talk about today, I'm going to talk to you about personal responsibility

and its a tough one.

And I'm going to give you some pretty cold truths here and I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings,

I don't mean to, I don't want to.

But I have to lay it down for you.

Personal Responsibility, if you are not in a position that you want to be in I need you

to genuinely look at what the situation you are in and how you got there, and what you

have done to get out of it.

There are some things you have no control over, you really don't, I didn't have any

control over being with an abuser for many years but when I decided to make a change,

that's when everything changed.

That's when I took the personal responsibility to move out of that situation.

Now I'm not going to even say its anywhere close to that.

But let's talk about business and in life and health.

How can you use personal responsibility and your mindset to make the difference?

First of all, its so easy to come up with everything else to why things aren't going

to plan if you're in business well my market is saturated, or there are too many people

in my local area and I can't do it.

Or they are out of my favorite product.

shippings behind, maybe it's your health, but I had to go to AUnt Pats Birthday and

she had cake and if Id said no to cake.

We come up with all these excuses, excuses are part of a system built into our brain

to protect us.

Our bodies actually are wired to prevent us from feeling pain.

Whether that be physical or emotional.

Like have you ever noticed when you are in a dangerous situation and your adrenaline

starts running and you're like OMGOSH I've got to get out of this.

That is your body's response to potential pain, they see fire its like you put your

hand near a flame you start to feel the flame before it causes any actual pain. and that

is your bodies response to omgosh we are in a situation where we need to protect, we need

to get the %^%^ away from this scenario, If you didn't know Imay cuss a little.

I'm sorry #notsorry

OUr brain does the same thing.

Our brain gives us a ton of excuses to lessen the pain, so I'm going to talk about business

when you don't have a successful month, you will list a whole bunch of reasons why you

didn't and it will be hostesses didn't show up, my invoices didn't get paid, I couldn't

compete with the snow last month.

My company was behind on shipping, deliveries were delayed.

The sale wasn't so good.

Well everybody knows that Jan is a bad month.

Have you ever thought, and just drop in the comments any of the excuses you have heard

or come up with.

Let's see how we can combat them and make them go away because excuses are crap.

Putting it out there, excuses are crap.

They are put in place to save you from pain.

so if you are there and working your business.

and it's like I didn't do so well last month, you get that little, that little stress.

What did Ido wrong?

why did Ido that, why did I do this?

Why did I???? and you start to feel emotional pain, you feel guilty, you feel distraction,

you feel all these things, so excuses are your brain's way of giving you something other

than yourself to blame.

But here's the thing, you keep allowing your brain to do that, it is protecting you!

Its whole thing is to protect you.

Its whole goal is to make you feel good and calm and supported, and safe, but guess what?

Calm, supported and safe is good, but it doesn't get you from place A to place B, you have

to do something to move and transition

SO what you have to do is acknowledge, ok it's a J month, so what could I have done

to make it different.

Ok so my company ran out of x product, I should have focused on Y product instead, you have

to come up with reasons to defeat the excuses.

you have to take personal responsibility so I want you all to in your head, in the comments,

it doesn't matter I just want to know how are you going to take personal responsibility

in Feb for the success of your business.

Ok I have to do a weight example

I'm losing weight, it is a journey, that I am on.

I have currently lost 16lbs since Jan2nd, I am so excited.

But I had a donut this morning, it tasted amazing and it completely blew out my sugar

and everything allowance for the day.

I have to take personal responsibility for that, so tomorrow when I'm not feeling so

good because of it, I know it was my decision to eat that.

I knew the consequences, I knew what was going to happen so I am going to be extra good and

work on it.

I take that treat I had and be happy I had that treat, So I've talked about personal

Responsibility I've talked about excuses, this is what I want you to do, every single

freaking excuse that you have given yourself in the last 30 days, write it down, if it

gets to be more than a page, stop!

I don't want you overwhelmed, if it's too many, you will shut down and we are busting

these excuses not keeping them going.

I want to list all your excuses and then I want you to come up with 2 solutions for each

excuse

My company sold out of x product, I could have focused on Y prodyct I could have researched

and found an alternative, Icould have taken preorders for when they are back in stock.

I could have decided to focus on a different line in my company, Icould have focused on

sponsoring.

You see how you have all these different things; But because you were so situated and so focused

on that excuse it stayed there.

We dont want you staying there, we want you moving forward.

That is your homework!

To take personal responsibity and tounderstand why these excuses pop in your head and what

they are there for.

Once you understand why and what they are doing you can beat them
