Thread: Wish it were mine

We put them up/down usually as when nailing them in it is a lot quicker when framing a wall on the ground. In a straight line is certainly more pleasing to the eye (especially if the internal isn't being lined). I also do them in a stright line if my cladding needs solid blocking at the joins (blueboard, villa board, and the like)...

I thought it was done on purpose for a shelf to be fitted to them. Nice work by the way too

Great to see a tradesman taking pride in their work. Never lose that desire and word of mouth will get you plenty of work.

Hi Dave
what sort of "columns" are supporting the steel beams?

Is the intent to use them as crane rails?


and for Simplicity (?) how on earth did you get approval to build on what looks to be 90% of the block?

Its not simplicity's block. Client is ownet builder

Beams supported by quadruple studs. Only require triple. Roof madd is only about 20 kg m2

Walls will be lined with internal sheet bracing. Not required but client wanted it linef as an extra and wanted to be able to fix anywhere. Will be using 19mm sheet flooring glued and screwed.

No beams will not be used ad a mono rail.

How did you get the steel beams in place Dave? They look heavy.

The beams are 200UB18.2. For those that dont know, 200 is the height of the beam, UB means Universal Beam & 18.2 is kg/p/m. So at about 6.5m that puts them close to 120kg each. I have managed similar on my own in my younger days using a block and tackle and an extension ladder.

These beams there were three of us. Myself, Simplicity & Complicated
