    About to pull the trigger (Monday) on a Lang 36 stick burner since I need a new Q challenge as I can't get the current line-up to produce ;).  Feel like it's time to wrestle with a true stick burner (and absolutely no interest in the competition circuit)  while I can still read and write, although I'm not sure those traits are basic requirements.  Been doing a fair amount of research and have gotten great info from some here on the forum.  Thanks to all.
    So, when this goes down and I'm no longer here-let the record show that my obit is current.  I did casually and obliquely run this past SWMBO but it was cleverly disguised enough to not get a negative response. ;)

    Car seats are satin in a car. They ruin everything, leave marks in the leather, and take up way too much space. God bless the Booster Seat and all the flexibility that comes with it. Car seats are one are the kids didn't grow up fast enough through!!!!

    Okay, I will get a picture of the pitiful progress made over the weekend @kl8ton do not get your hopes up at all. 

    I have no idea how to post a video @northGAcock. I will have to send it to you on the phone. I will do that tomorrow as well.  

    In the meantime as the roast beef is finishing, I am making some bacon.

    @YEMTrey. I want some of that right now.  The one on the right in the plated picture looks like someone could not wait and took a quick bite out of it.   I will take that one, I do not care.....

    Making a late night snack. Took a can of cinnamon rolls and put them on the waffle maker. Fast, easy and delicious.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    The truss comprises 2x4s

    top and bottom chords are 2x4s

    Although 2x4s are (technically) dimensional lumber, no one would ever confuse them for capital-D Dimensional capital-L Lumber, i.e. Anything you'd use for a floor joist

    which means this floor is not framed from 2x4s "on flat" as Nola hastily assumed. Rather it is a floor with truss-joist framing. Which trusses just so happen to be made from 2x4s.  

    Which is very different

    you can't frame a floor of any significant span with 2x4 dimensional lumber

    but you can sure as hell span a decent distance with a truss comprising 2x4s

    (ex-architect with a concentration in structural engineering)




    I'm thoroughly appreciative of trusses and how they work as a system to be greater than the sum of their parts (compared to being used as components alone, just as joists).

    I'm just saying it's the first time I've seen that configuration in particular.  I've seen it with the 2x4s 90 degrees oriented from the picture.  I understand it's easier to nail the diagonals as shown in the picture, just not as strong as it's covered on both sides by flooring and ceiling.
    Almost all of this type of truss as well as steel bar joists are made in this general pattern. There are some perpendicular members, but the triangular panel points are key to their design. I don't think it has anything at all to do with ease of assembly, rather it provides the highest strength in relation to the overall weight of the truss or joist. 
     We might be saying the same thing as I'm not 100% sure I understand what you wrote. Sorry if that is the case. Prolly is. 
    I am not familiar with that design, but after a quick search, I find it very common for floor joists in a truss configuration.  I was thinking more roof trusses, esp in my local. I'm sure if lateral stability were most important because one or more sides were not covered, it would be superior.  Otherwise if it's covered on both sides by cladding (dry wall, plywood, etc), the long edge perpendicular to the floor/ceiling is stiffer
