Even though the steel may be prefab? Think they come prefab anyway. Hate it..prefer doing stick frames..at least all your plates will be the right size lol.Sounds like you should go for a walk down there one day and hand out resumés to them all and actually say do you want to do a trial day or week while they are there as you live close.Me and the boss surprised we got a Monterey (look it up online-henley) up and all levelled in 2 days..usually take us 2.5/3 days lol. Smaaaashed it. Should get paid double...haha. fukkin 3rd yr today. Put external studs on an internal wall (cut 35mm off the studs) and internal on an external wall (double top plate) today.. I <3 Bananas!!! :banghead: 3rd year farkin! Its a 1st yr mistake..wtf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every..other..day.. it gets beyond a joke sometimes. Just simple sh*t like putting studs in. Wth?! Haha..I just laugh when the boss looks at me in anger/disbelief hahahahYeh of course it'll be straighter lol steel is manufactured :/Nothing against steel frames. All houses will be steel in the future. Only downside I see is if you have a fire..going to twist the whole wall..hope its not an external wall that goes up lol.I'm yet to see a steel house go up in 4 days haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
