Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 26, 2008 9:07 pm Is it an issue that my frame slightly overhangs in one corner. It does not seem like a big deal but thought I would ask you guys

Check all around the house, take pics and make notes of how much each section is out... We did the same and our builder dynabolted angle irons underneath the overhang which was about 3.5-4.0mm in the biggest area. If you are unsure, get an independant inspector out to go over it with you/for you? Re: slight overhang of frame 3Feb 26, 2008 9:30 pm its getting catchy!!!

I am getting Kevin out at pre platser and final at this stage but he may not catch these issues as house will have been bricked. It seems to be only in these corners. One is10mm out which is not much. This one is varied because the concrete as fallen out I think. It is only in the corner but PD seems to frame with the vertical post just in as seen in pic Re: slight overhang of frame 5Feb 26, 2008 9:39 pm stevec Thanks Pheonix I am getting Kevin out at pre platser and final at this stage but he may not catch these issues as house will have been bricked.

Why not take pics and chat with Kevin about them and the measurements that you have taken. Then a decision can be made if he needs to come out or not??? Re: slight overhang of frame 6Feb 26, 2008 9:48 pm Steve, where abouts are you building? Any reason you didn't use termite-treated framing? Its not much more, I don't know why anyone wouldn't use it Re: slight overhang of frame 7Feb 26, 2008 9:51 pm Quote: Any reason you didn't use termite-treated framing? How did you know that the framing is not termite-treated? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!

I have not seen one house in our estate using the blue timber that you have outlined Luke? Maybe it does depend on the location? Re: slight overhang of frame 11Feb 26, 2008 10:14 pm That's what I thought too!
I haven't seen any blue-coloured frames in our area! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: slight overhang of frame 13Feb 26, 2008 11:11 pm The H2/Rhino treated timber is usually blue/green in colour, whilst LOSP treated timber is dyed a red/pink colour and can smell like kerosene.
There are also other forms of the same thing - some H2 treated can be envelope treated or saturated. The supplier can provide more detail request. Re: slight overhang of frame 14Feb 26, 2008 11:45 pm One other thing with frame overhang is that usually the fascia is a set distance from the frame (usually 150mm thereabouts). Which in the extreme cases means that the brickwork will overhang the base of the slab rebate, which is uglier and worse than the frame overhang.
Just another thing to watch for. Re: slight overhang of frame 15Feb 27, 2008 9:14 am Even though any overhang is classified as 'defective' , with a 90mm frame such as yours a max. of 10mm overhang is permitted with a max. of 15mm for brickwork.

There are also other forms of the same thing - some H2 treated can be envelope treated or saturated. The supplier can provide more detail request. LOSP H3 treated timber can be clear or dyed green depending on the manufacturer. The red H2/T2 timber is the same as the blue but for use above the Tropic of Capricorn. The H2/T2 treatment is still a type of LOSP tretament. ALL treatment is an envelope treatment - not even H4 is a complete 'saturation' treatment. That is why any cut ends on sleepers etc must be resealed. Re: slight overhang of frame 17Feb 27, 2008 7:35 pm **Phoenix** Doesn't treated pine mean it's treated against termites as well? I have not seen one house in our estate using the blue timber that you have outlined Luke? Maybe it does depend on the location? H3/H4 etc treated pine is treated against two things - borers/termites AND fungal rot/decay. T2 treated framing is only treated against termite/ borer - thats why it is closer in price to untreated pine than full outdoor use H3 treated pine. Perhaps termites isn't as much a problem in drier states like Vic. and S.A. I would not even consider not using termite treated framing if I were building new - the peace of mind alone...... Re: slight overhang of frame 19Feb 27, 2008 10:08 pm CCA included. That being said the CCA does penetrate better than LOSP - thats why LOSP is only available up to H3 level (CCA goes to H6) In the end, two pieces of treated timber (20mm thick) were bolted onto the joists and planed when there was too much sticking out.
