Re: Balloon Framing Ribbon Size R502.6 Bearing. The ends of each joist beam or girder shall have not less than 1.5" of bearing on wood or metal and not less than 3" on masonry or concrete except where supported on a 1x4 ribbon strip and nailed to the adjacent stud or by the use of approved joist hangers.
In balloon framing, (depending on the amount of span) it is possible to attach new joists to the old ones extending out into the new space and continue framing. Put the temporary shoring under the new joists and then install the new header in it's permanent location under the existing joists without much trouble.
Re: balloon framing garage walls Tripper, A few years ago I framed a 36 x 60 garage with plate heights from 12 to 18 feet. I framed and sheathed the 36 foot walls in one piece, the 60 foot walls in two pieces, used 2x6 plates and made sure the joints broke 8 feet apart, rigged properly and lifted with an owned forklift from the inside where the ...
Re: Better option than balloon framing Maybe I'm missing something, why not have a truss company build a scissor truss that incorporates the knee walls in the design on either end of the truss. With bracing the knee walls you will lose 2-3 feet in the width anyway and you would have to worry with collar ties.
I remodeling an old house with balloon framing. What is the best method for insulating this without creating future mildew/condensation problems in the wall? Conditions: cypress weatherboards, no moisture barrier-just nailed to studs, inside of weatherboards shows mildew, hot/humid weather (New Orleans), will have new HVAC system, old windows ...
Re: Balloon gable we get a common struc detail that calls for wall framing to go to underside of sheathing with a truss against it, I don't like it for the very reason bluemoose has, you gotta build to a truss you don't have and even using the truss profile sometimes they come out a little off so just figure in some fudge factor.
Re: Baloon Framing I'm building a balloon framed shop (for a client) in Mass right now. It's 1.5 story (3' kneewall), and we got away with that by using a structural ridge. It's 1.5 story (3' kneewall), and we got away with that by using a structural ridge.
Re: I-joist rafters and balloon-framed gable walls First question : Trusses are an easy way to do a hip roof, I-joists will require some type of Second question : I would ballon frame wall full width of building and use end wall sheathing (excluding foam) to tie over end corners.
The picture you have shown is not that of a balloon frame. A balloon frame has the studs extending all the way to the mud-sill on the foundation. As to the second floor frame detail, the ledger can be nailed to the face of the studs or it may be let into the studs as mentioned before. Also is there really plywood sheathing, or is it rough sawn ...
Keep the wall as close as possible just leaving enough room to work. The problem with your balloon frame is usually just a ledger holding the second floor joist so you will need some sort of attachment from the joist to the second floor walls. You could nail a 2 by 12 on the wall above the second floor so the joist won't push up.
