2010 Frame-to-Finish Roadshow Clinics

 

Session 1: 8:30-9:30

Waterproof Windows & Doors

One of the most important issues facing construction crews today is the proper installation of windows and exterior doors while maintaining a weather resistive barrier system.  Learn the latest techniques for correct flashing and housewrap coordination; ensure that your windows and doors NEVER leak with the proper use of sill pans, self-adhesive membranes, and site-made metal flashings. End the session with a review of pre-assembled trim techniques, when to use PVC; when to use WindsorONE (miters vs butt joints, sloped sills, pocket-screw joinery), and weatherproof caulking procedures.

 

Session 2: 10:00- 11:00

Squeak-Free Floors

Engineered lumber opens up new dimensions in residential framing, from longer spans to taller walls, ensuring dead straight walls, floors, and ceilings. From I-Joists to laminated lumber, this seminar focuses on specialized installation techniques that will accelerate your jobs and improve your profits. To protect those profits, learn how to control subfloor moisture content--a critical component toward ensuring long-term performance of final finish flooring--by using AdvanTech sheathing material.

 

 Lunch: 11:00- 12:00

 

Session 3: 12:00- 1:00

Solving Porch Problems

The connection to the house is one of the most critical aspects of deck building, and the most prone to failure. Learn proper ledger placement & mounting techniques that ensure durability and strength. Take the worry out of working with treated lumber with a crash course on the latest ACQ-compatible fasteners and hardware. Start your porch stair with a story pole so you'll always pass inspection, and pick up a simple technique for hanging stringers and aligning handrail that will save your hair from head scratching.

 

Session 4: 1:30- 2:30

High-end Exterior Trim

Finish the day with the finish. First, see TimberTech's rail kit installed on a raked balustrade. Review choices for skirt board and rim joist aprons; cover techniques for installing PVC trim and techniques for improved WindsorONE+ trim. Get a better understanding of moisture content, wood movement and thermal expansion issues before building a durably designed Arts & Crafts newel post.
