Raising the Gables Video

Bob meets with general contractor Ted Riley as Dan Enright and his framing crew prepare to raise the gable end wall. The gable has a 12-12 pitch making it a 45-degree. The home will have 2" x 6" wall throughout yielding an R-Factor of R-21 using high density fiberglass insulation. The sheathing is Georgia-Pacific Blue Ribbon OSB. Noted for its strength and stability, the material has no knots or core voids and is gauged to expedite framing.
