The ends of each joist beam or girder shall have not less than 1.5" of bearing on wood or metal and not less than 3" on masonry or concrete except where supported on a 1x4 ribbon strip and nailed to the adjacent stud or by the use of approved joist hangers.

2007年12月11日 · Re: Best insulation for balloon framing NOt sure it is the right way to do it but this is what I saw one contractor doing in New Orleans. He would cut sheets of tar paper say 20 inches wide. He would then staple the paper to the back of the sheathing and fold it around onto the studs. He then insulated the cavity.

2006年4月5日 · Re: Balloon gable we get a common struc detail that calls for wall framing to go to underside of sheathing with a truss against it, I don't like it for the very reason bluemoose has, you gotta build to a truss you don't have and even using the truss profile sometimes they come out a little off so just figure in some fudge factor.

2010年8月7日 · So for a 9' section, you will have essentially a 23' balloon wall in 2 parts--14' lower with a flight of stairs attached to it, then a 9' tall part on top. Then, at the landing, which is in the corner, I plan to build the side and rear walls 6' tall, build the landing on top of those walls, then frame the remaining walls 16' tall.

2002年11月11日 · Re: balloon framing garage walls Tripper, I ran into a similar situation a couple years ago. 12' 2x6 walls on a 24'x24' garage. I ended up framing the walls in managable sections. Then, after we lifted the bottom plate onto the frost wall two guys raised the wall section while a third guy guided the bottom plate onto the bolts.

2006年12月8日 · In balloon framing, (depending on the amount of span) it is possible to attach new joists to the old ones extending out into the new space and continue framing. Put the temporary shoring under the new joists and then install the new header in it's permanent location under the existing joists without much trouble.

2005年3月9日 · Keep the wall as close as possible just leaving enough room to work. The problem with your balloon frame is usually just a ledger holding the second floor joist so you will need some sort of attachment from the joist to the second floor walls. You could nail a 2 by 12 on the wall above the second floor so the joist won't push up.

2000年12月5日 · Re: I-joist rafters and balloon-framed gable walls First question : Trusses are an easy way to do a hip roof, I-joists will require some type of Second question : I would ballon frame wall full width of building and use end wall sheathing (excluding foam) to tie over end corners.

2016年1月5日 · The picture you have shown is not that of a balloon frame. A balloon frame has the studs extending all the way to the mud-sill on the foundation. As to the second floor frame detail, the ledger can be nailed to the face of the studs or it may be let into the studs as mentioned before. Also is there really plywood sheathing, or is it rough sawn ...

2007年7月24日 · Re: Better option than balloon framing Maybe I'm missing something, why not have a truss company build a scissor truss that incorporates the knee walls in the design on either end of the truss. With bracing the knee walls you will lose 2-3 feet in the width anyway and you would have to worry with collar ties.
