Esquimalt – framing
shallow pre-fabricated trusses
ceiling backframing
pre-fabricated trusses
ceiling backframing over garage
exit from living room to deck
raised floor framing
Parallam to TJI angled connection
dropped framed floor
wood framing around elevator shaft
Parallam to floor joist connection
plumbing rough in
Exterior wall plywood sheathing
Framed wall against concrete foundation wall – note the moisture membrane (black) between concrete wall and wood studs – normally one would leave a 1/2″ gap, but in this case the gap had to be eliminated
(Shallow) wood trusses
Skewed connection between a parallam beam and TJI joists
Wall/floor framing
Wall/floor framing
floor build up over TJI floor structure
glue goop smeared over TJI beams in preparation of plywood sheathing application
glue goop as an adhering agent between floor plywood sheathing and TJIs
longish roof TJI beams
TJI close up
perimeter LVL ledgers (orange)
extremely angled TJI beam – custom hangers?
sill gasket under sill plate to hamper moisture migration into wood
wall framing over a rather thin concrete foundation wall
garage wood framing offset from concrete wall and fill
Esquimalt – deck waterproofing & drainage
deck drain from outside
underside of deck/roof sheathing – note X-shaped shimming/blocking on top of the TJIs
in order to give the deck a slope towards the drain
underside of deck/roof sheathing – tapered sleepers visible
deck drain before SBS membrane application. Note how the drain flange is set into plywood sheathing so as to ensure a constant slope towards the drain once the SBS membrane is installed.
tapered sleepers over TJI beams
Esquimalt – steel to wood connection
(see also: steel beam connections)
steel column support over top plate
‘
Steel connection – note the load transferred from the steel beam to the concrete wall over a much shallower HSS member – this was in order to allow for a curtain pocket against the concrete wall
note angled TJI joist hangers
steel column support
Steel baseplate over steel beam flange
Somewhat messy steel connection
framed floor suspended off steel beam
steel frame in support of suspended framed floor
steel beam blocking and TJIs
Esquilmalt – deck waterproofing
2 ply SBS membrane over upper level deck – note the membrane wrapping over
protruding steel beam going diagonally to the far corner of the cantilevered deck
2 ply SBS membrane over upper level deck – the membrane site below the door
threshold in order to accommodate sloped sleepers and wood decking
deck SBS membrane off living room
SBS membrane installed over a deck – view from above
