Re: Rain during build. 6Mar 13, 2014 12:50 pm Quote: Well thats more like it, but at a guess, Id say you wouldnt really want it exposed for more than a few lengthy downpours, right? Its well and good to say rectification is done, but how thoroughly? I guess if the frame is fully built and fastened its less of an issue, but if only half built, well.... Surprisingly we had a look at a couple of places that had come to a screeching halt for six months or more and in both cases all the frames and trusses were fine - a little surface rust on nails and gangnail plates but apart from that and a little minor splitting of nogs ( which could have been there from day one ) we couldn't find much warping, twisting or cupping of anything. I'd be more concerned with the floor sheeting - if that went south you would have a devil of a job rectifying all that. Quote: Put it this way, timber yards cover their timber, they dont leave it exposed to rain. True, but as soon as the cheque clears they deliver it to sites with no protection over it. I see slabs all the time with the frames and trusses stacked up for weeks at a time until the framing carpenters lob on site.
