Hey all,

I was told about a news article about the first house being rebuilt in Traralgon in Steel Framing.

Did anybody tape the news last night?

Could you host it somewhere?

Did anyone see the story?

All help appreciated.

Cheers

Pete

dude, the last thing you want in a house is steel framing, they started doing it in the 90s, then stopped because it was just stupid, when a frame is made out of steel, in the summer, or winter depending on temperatures, all you hear all day is creeking and expansion noises from the steel, its a poo idea i say. pooo

nope, i have a steel frame house. I've lived here for 8 years since new and no "creeking and expansion noises" at all. ever.

stops any termite problems.

Steel has been used for framing for a long time now. It has many advantages over alternative materials such as being 100% termite resistant, consistent in strength and allows design flexabilty over alternative material for this reason. stays straight etc

Steel will expand and contract no different to alternative building materials so very unlikely it would be noiser. I have never heard my steel garage make a noise yet after 6 years. Have spent a fair bit of time in their too much like many of the members here im sure. lol

makes alot of sense building with steel these days.

I'm a few days behind in the news... ...But I'm sure I've got 7, 9, & 10 for tuesday the 24th... ...I'll have a look tomorrow after work and YouTube it for you...

If you wonder why I've recorded the news... ...I just look for funny things to put up on YouTube... ...I really want the weather guy on 10 to snap and hit some kid one day... :banana:

I don't do the late news... ...But you're lucky tonight... ...I just got that on the tail end of Life... ...PM me your e-mail and I'll send it to you now... ...Can't be bothered with something like that on YouTube...

If anyone sees anything on the news or hears about something they missed... ...If you PM me within around 24 hours... ...Most of the time I'll usually still have it and can send it too you...

Clutch.

Sorry mate but you are clearly uneducated and ill informed about this.

Steel Houses DO NOT CREAK. This has been proven bu the CSIRO and was found to be no more than a myth perpetrated by the timber to protect market share.

Steel is recycleable. Timber is not. Of ALL the steel possible to be recycled in Australia, 80% is, and of that 80%, 95% is actually recycled and turned into new steel. We dig the iron ore up once, turn it into steel once, and then re-use if for the next 100,000 years.

Timber converts a lot of Cardon Di-Oxide to Oxygen during it's grow process, and then releases all that carbon back into the atmosphere as it degrades over the next 50 years. AVerage life span of a galvanised steel house frame..... 800 years. As proven in accelerated scientific tests.

To protect timber from Termites and/or Rot you need to treat it with harsh chemicals, how knows what they are doing to people..... Remember Asbestos?

RBPOWA, The blue coating on the "TrueCore" material is simply a blue ink/tint in the final Chromate layer. It's simply a branding exercise, and that steel (Bluescope's ZincAlume) is not actually 100% correct for use in Steel Framing, normal Z275 Gal is better, as you don't need to use a membrane underneath the steel on concrete slabs. Having said that though, in the vast majority of cases, it's no problem to do this.

New?

Haven't JG King been using Steel frames in every one of their houses for nearly 10years?

Pretty sure that if the frame creaked, they would have reverted back to wood.

I am sure there are other builders that use steel as well.

Correct.

Steel Framing has been used exclusivly by JG Kings for many many years.

Steel is slowly gaining share over timber as the public are educated into it's un-questionable advantages over timber.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
