prefabricated trusses and typically less expensive when they are fabricated for repetitive use in housing project with similarly designed roofs. If the roof is a standard Gable this helps in cost reduction. A Hip roof or a roof with numerous offsets with try or coffered ceilings it is more cost effective to stick frame or conventionally frame this roof. (answered by a framing contractor of 33 years)

A Tip or Securing Roof Trusses?

Roof trusses are essentially the triangular frames that form the top of the house. More than likely, you're familiar with roof trusses and you're interested in a tip on installing and securing your roof trusses. In some cases, it would make sense to use a mechanical pulley system, but in other cases, you may find that it's actually cheaper to just rent a crane for the installation of the roof trusses. Most companies that rent cranes out generally charge by the hour that you need the machinery, so be sure that you have everything you need and lots of support before renting.

How do you do the engineer glitch in command and conquer 3 tiberium wars?

At the start build a CRANE then build a power plant in the crane and a REFINERY in the COMMAND CENTER, when the POWER PLANT is built, drop it down then build a BARRACKS and build an ENGINEER from it. When the REFINERY is built drop it down and build a COMMAND POST. When it is built drop it down. Build POWER PLANTS in both COMMAND CENTER and CRANE, and use the radar to see over the enemy base, use the ENGINEER to capture an enemy building, before it goes out of the build radius drop both POWER PLANTS on top of the ENGINEER and the ENGINEER will disappear and capture the enemy building auto-matically.
