LVL for frames
I was talking to a builder who has been out of the game for a while about my owner builder project. It will be a weatherboard clad timber frame and corrugated roof. He was reliving a house he build that had weather boards and prefabbed frames and trusses out of blue pine when it first came out. He said that he spent a week to stand up the frames and trusses and spent another month straightening out the studs. He said that he got them within 1/8 of an inch and there were practically no studs that were not touched. He said to get a good job on your cladding it pays to get your studs as straight as possible. He then said that considering two blokes on a frame to straighten the studs for a month it might pay to find someone who will to lvl frames. You might pay the same in the end but you don't loose a month.
two questions:
Is it just he got dud frames, and these days framing is better?
Has anyone seen an LVL frame or know who would manufacture one?
