Bathroom Addition - V2 | Page 15 | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

That was the plan but it looks like we're headed back abroad, though we don't yet know where.

Got another window done last night and will hopefully finish up the structure of the last wall tonight. 

For mounting the interior wall to the slab, any advice on the fastener? I was just going to use a Tapcons as I neglected to put anchor bolts here.

Also, I will admit to being foolish in not doing 24" OC, that would have saved money, time, and increased room for insulation. However, it's a learning experience?

Almost went with the ramset but I happened to have just enough tapcon screws from a previous project that I didn't have to go to the store.

Put some rafters up during the week:

Then started staging for the weekend when a friend was coming in:

Here we were this weekend:

You can see that the foam is used in lieu of plywood where the bracing is used. The steel brackets on this corner were redundant and not required. However, I liked how they tied everything together and still allowed me to use foam. 

This corner shows two things: the let in bracing on the right and how it allows for the foam to be used, as well as the reason why I couldn't do continuous sheathing - The corner windows are too close to the corner to allow for sufficient bracing. The minimal distance between a corner and a window/opening is usually around 16" (this should sound familiar from seeing garages). There are definitely exceptions but in those exceptions, bracing has to be done by an engineer or within certain guidelines.

Think I'm going to use 8" hardieplank. I'll just have to use long enough nails and go through to the studs. The foam is only 1/2"
