House Support Beam - Better Read Short EBook - LIVE Stream 03-10-2022 Ask the Builder

It says I'm live

You be the judge. I'm Tim Carter. This is Ask the Builder

Good afternoon. March 10th, 2020. And spring is here

Although if you look at my window, you'd still see some snow. But I'm really encouraged

Just to show you how it works up here in New Hampshire, or, you know, a month ago, two months ago, you know, middle of January, if it snowed

like if there was a dusting of snow, it's not going away. It's just going to turn to ice

Last night, late yesterday afternoon last night, it snowed an inch. And I went ahead and I knew I didn't

have to do it, but I thought, ah, what the heck? So I scraped the snow off the driveway. It takes

about a half an hour. It's good exercise. You don't have to lift anything. You just kind of push it. And but I didn do anything with the front walk on purpose And by noon it was all gone So but it also gets a of tricks on light Good night Hello Hello Lorene How are you doing Great that you here

Here you go, Lorene. Boom. Now you get the magic blue wrench

All right, well, let's talk a little bit. Here's what we're going to do today. I'm going to talk in just a few minutes about house support beams and all different types

you might think there's only one type. Hello, Roco. There are several different types

And it's actually a very complex topic, but it's not as complex as you might think it is

It really comes down to a lot of common sense. Then we're going to talk about Discord

And Goodnight is going to put in links how to sign up or how to join the Discord on my private server that he was kind enough to set up

Thank you very much. And I'm starting to get a little bit more comfortable with that each day

And I noticed in the past 24 hours, he set up some interesting new channels

And I set up one today myself. So I was kind of happy about that. So anyway, we're going to have a lot of fun on Discord

And you can actually participate in Discord with others here in YouTube at the same time as you watching the stream here And pretty soon we going to be multiplexing

We're going to actually have the stream on Discord from what I understand. But I'm not going to remember about that today

So we're going to talk a little bit about that. And we're also going to talk about anything that you want to talk about

Whatever your questions might be, type them in the chat. I don't care what they're about. It doesn't matter. I had a really interesting consult call

for example. Hi, Will. I had a very interesting phone call, consult call about an hour ago

No, it was at 2 o'clock, actually, with a gentleman up in Chicago who's changing out all of his

galvanized water lines in his home to switching to copper. And he had a couple of really interesting

questions. So if you have questions like that, that's what I'm here for. I do the live stream

to try to help you save time and money. Simple as that. All right. Thanks very much. There's that

Discord link. So if you know anything about Discord, then you know what to do. Go there. If you don't

know anything about Discord, go there anyway. Just sign up. It's all free. And it's this extremely

powerful platform that allows us to share knowledge faster quicker and better than this particular

platform. It's going to blow your mind, actually. Okay, beams. Beams have been around for a long

time. Early man and early women, Lorraine. So they've figure it out that you could just take a flipping log and use a log to cross a stream

like span it and like magic. You know, the most basic of all bridges you could make out of a tree

I've done it myself as a kid. Just have to be careful as the tree starts to rot and the bark falls

off and gets pretty slippery. Obviously, as time went on, we refined that. But here's the really

interesting thing. This is really fascinating about beams. Beams were really, really limited

until the invention of steel. So you may think that steel has been around for a long time

Well, it has, and it has
