It shouldn't take two framing carpenters any longer to do what I described than it took me to type it. :-) Seriously. I dunno about that. You have to take it up, tack it in place, measure, take it down, cut, remove the top, and install it. That's a lot of steps. Right. A LOT fewer steps than trying to measure each stud. You said he was a pro. With an inexperienced helper, it would be done in an hour, tops. This is something a professional framer would've figured out by intuition. I gave you a really good solution to the problem. I'd be setting trusses by now. :-) Is this guy a missionary, by chance? This is starting to sound like a Troll. Solution presented -- Yes, but... Another solution presented -- Yes, but... The guy wants to use a Chop Saw with a Laser Rangefinder and he stated three questions: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Questions: 1) Do distance finders allow offsets like that to be dialed in? 2) Is there a better/faster/smarter way to do this? 3) Is there already a tooling system for just this problem? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It appears that any answer to question 2 is invalid unless it addresses the Chop Saw and a laser rangefinder. Seems that way, huh? I'd have the trusses up by now. :-) I don't doubt that. However, your solution seems too low-tech, simple, and quick. You are exhibiting the ways of a Pro - they look for a simple and elegant solution - implement it, and get the job done and move on. Meanwhile the amateur will futz around and waste days trying to find a workable solution much harder than it needs to be. Moreover, the more difficult, the more high-tech and closer to impossible the solution is - the better. I have fallen victim to that in the past. Oh, so have I... so have I. If there's anything I hate, it's having too long to think about how to do a seemingly difficult task. Too much stress and worrying over the solution, when in most cases, were I actually on site dealing with the scenario, I'd have the problem solved and the solution implemented and never have to experience the stress. I've posted in here before, asking for advice on upcoming projects that I deemed to be difficult, only yo get to the actual job to have it go much more smoothly and simpler than anticipated. Anytime I get a project with unknown solutions and anticipated problems, I really just want to jump into it ASAP to avoid all the anxiety that usually proves to be unwarranted. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- www.mikedrums.com |

Honestly watching this thread, making any suggestion with out at least seeing pictures of the site seems a good way to not really help your friend. Mortar and brick, might work to get something level, building a frame infilling with concrete. So is this place anywhere near Theodore J. Kaczynski's place? |

-MIKE- wrote in news
You could run a tight string line or laser, level, from the highest point of the foundation wall to a clamped stick at the low end. You take a pressure treated sill plate and embed it in mortar on the sloping foundation wall. You just keep tapping down until it's straight and level. Let the mortar cure and then insert anchors down into the foundation wall. The anchors could already be there or be installed prior to setting the sill plate in mortar. +1 |
