If you do not mind, I got one more concern regards to the noggins of frame like pic below, I do not think it is the right way to hammer the panel between stud and is there a solution to this? Thanks heaps http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h369/umehomes/Noggins-2.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h369/umehomes/Noggins-3.jpg Re: Framing stage concerns, advice please 10Aug 09, 2011 10:47 pm Is there any wall wrap behind that brickwork? That noggin should really be replaced as its too short. Doing the brickwork before frame is completed doesn't allow for the inspector to see the external side of the frame. This means he can't be sure the bracing has been nailed off correctly. Success is the result of good judgment, good judgment is the result of experience, and experience is often the result of bad judgment!

See the brick work at garage area, is it normal no timber frame in the garage area but only brick? Brick layer said they will build additional brick column to support roof truss on garage therefore no timber frame. Thanks heaps With points 2 and 3, just remember that the brick wall does not support the weight of the roof, the brick wall is just a decorative/protective skin for the timber frame, which is where all the strength is. So yes no problem to start doing the wall before the roof trusses are complete and with the garage as they have said they will build some support columns. This will probably support a lintel which in turn will support the trusses. Thanks for all replies. I just noticed now the pictures I added to post right on top of page were wrong.
