Peter Brown – Part 4 Design and Build a Workshop

This is part 4 of Peter’s Design and Build a Workshop Series

Design/Build Contractor Peter Q Brown describes the back patio roof construction and ledger detail as well as exterior finish carpentry issues with regard to siding and trim.

“The entire back patio roof assembly had been pre painted on site. The roof consists of 4×6 rafters with an exposed layer of painted T&G pine. The pine is covered with a layer of 5/8 inch OSB. Brown describes a ledger detail with no exposed hangers. The result is a very tidy roof attachment at the wall….

…This video shows the average homeowner some examples of common but problematic architectural details and the onsite carpentry that goes into skillfully executing this type of work”

The resulting intimate familiarity with the project enables Brown to confidently pre order critical components such as floor and roof truss systems. This familiarity with the important project details enables aggressive scheduling. This is a key element to getting a building weather tight late in the season. The push will be to get the building dried in as early and efficiently as possible, without compromising quality…”
