Interesting about the noggins. I was under the impression they were slightly up/down so they can be used for services such as gas/water and getting the holes drilled properly in the uprights.
Is it just an artistic thing then? I'd wager that big paslode nail gun makes things easy

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)...

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?regards from Alberta, Canada

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.
Those were the droids I was looking for.

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
