Hello, I really enjoyed the shed and solar build. I have never seen the use of joist hangers when the joists are resting on the sill plate. What is the purpose of that? You are supposed to nail the joist to the plate to hold the building down which makes the hangers unnecessary then through the rim board into the end of the joist. Also if you used hangers to "hang" the joist on a beam or something you would need a filler piece on the ends of the joists where the hangers are but these aren't hanging. Thanks.
Looks like you only have particle board as outer perimiter? Will that be strong enough to set up the exterior walls and take all the load? Thinking of the ends running along the floor joists
Hi there! So that board is an engineered wood product specifically designed for the application as a rim board. It’s about 3x thicker than the OSB sheathing and unfortunately considerably more expensive!
Hi this is your neighbor on the other side of the mountain I have a few questions for you I hope you will respond how is your inverter doing I was told by signature solar that the altitude might affect the cooling and how is your solar rack doing with the high winds thanks again Rick
Hi Rick, inverter is doing fine but I haven't pushed it past 3300W in and 4500W out. I spaced it 3 inches off the wall so it can get airflow behind the unit too, which may help. Solar panel rack is holding up fine. The one that is open has northerly winds blocked by the shed, as they would want to lift and overturn it. The one that is exposed I enclosed so it doesn't get uplift and is stiffer. All good so far, and we got a 95mph wind storm earlier this year!
@scottstalcar3223 Crawlspace access is through a hatch in the subfloor. I talk about it at 2:50 and you can see me cut it in at 3:58. 4” septic line is already there with a cap and comes in from under the footing. Freshwater has a sleeve also from under the footing so pex line can slide in from 5’ down and come up into the crawlspace. I talk about that stuff in the footings video. Additional pipes for plumbing can be brought in through a 6” vent hole in the rim board, but I did not mention that. Thanks for your interest!

Nice footage! Like the timelapses!
I just found your videos must admit enjoying so far. A quick question, are you an Aussie?

@@RidgyDidgeRanch alright. Hard to see on video. Have you had any rain on your build yet? Cant wait until its dried in 😇
Me again I withdraw the question, you answered it when you started your next video,

Thanks for the information we are dried in and second stage of plumbing keep up the good work
Where is your crawl space access? What about your underground/underfloor plumbing?
