https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/16993b8a-0e64-46a8-8779-c6a6eed6a6db In this walkthrough, we break down a unique hand-cut roof system with no trusses and no ceiling joists — just structural ridge beams, shear walls, and solid engineering. You'll learn how roof loads are transferred, why balloon framing was used, how shear walls help with lateral resistance, and how we built a clear load path from ridge to foundation. We’ll also explain the use of Zip System R-sheathing, the framing details around heavy triple-pane windows, and why we skipped some traditional elements for better thermal performance. ✅ Topics covered: Structural ridge framing without trusses Balloon-framed rake walls Shear wall design & lateral load paths Smart framing around window openings Using 4x studs for ZipR6 & tighter nail schedules Thanks to Huber Engineered Woods for supporting this project. 📦 Materials featured: Zip System R6 Sheathing Advantech Subfloor 2x12 DF Rafters Structural Ridge Beams & Glulam LVL Window Headers Innotech triple-pane windows 👷‍♂️ Built by: @AwesomeFramers 🎥 Edited by: Me 0:00 Intro 0:24 No Trusses 0:46 Structural Ridge 1:13 Shear Wall 1:56 Load Paths 4:00 Zip R Sheathing 4:27 Wall Anatomy 7:54 No Cripple Studs? 10:45 Rational Framing #framing #roofconstruction #zipr #shearwall #buildingdetails #structuralengineering #loadpath #balloonframing #advantech #handcutroof Some of the links below are affiliate links.

Commercial work includes social media like YouTube if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course https://sso.teachable.com/secure/245841/checkout/1320802/bundle-remote-pilot-plus-maneuvers?affcode=245841_0eauthdo&coupon_code=FRAMERS100 I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach.
