    摘要: An apparatus for aligning building construction layout lines to provide orthogonal corners and a level horizontal plane above a supporting ground surface. The apparatus includes a cross-member coupled with a first T-post using a first bracket and a second T-post using a second bracket, the cross-member intermediately coupled between the first T-post and the second T-post. The apparatus further includes an adjustable string support movable along the cross-member. The apparatus also includes a V-shaped bracket having a support platform. The apparatus further has a laser leveling combination which includes a laser projector and a laser receiver, the laser projector supported by the platform and the laser receiver supported by the cross-member.

    摘要: A footing apparatus provides support to a deck frame of the type having a plurality of joists supporting decking thereon above a foundation. The footing apparatus has a sleeve including internal threads formed therein and a bracket supporting the sleeve thereon. The bracket can be secured onto one of the joists such that the sleeve is vertically oriented, offset to one side of the joist, and in fixed relation to the joist. A post extends axially through the sleeve and includes external threads thereon forming a mating threaded connection with the internal threads of the sleeve. In this manner, the post is adjusted vertically relative to the bracket with rotation of the post relative to the sleeve. The post has a suitable length such that the post protrudes below a bottom side of the joist for adjustably supporting the joist spaced above the foundation.

    摘要: Apparatus, systems, and methods to vertically plumb a wood framed wall. The apparatus includes a handle portion, a beam portion is connected to the handle portion, and a base plate pivotally connected the beam portion. The apparatus includes one or more apertures in both the beam portion and the base plate. The apparatus may include a flange that extends from the base plate with one or more apertures in the flange. The handle portion may have a circular cross-section and may be integrally formed with the beam portion. The beam portion of the apparatus may be pivotally connected to the base plate by a clevis and a pin. Fasteners connect the beam portion to a brace of a wood framed wall and the base plate to the floor or a base plate. A force may be applied to the handle to vertically plumb the wood framed wall.

    摘要: A jig configured to be positioned relative to first and second members, which extend along mutually transverse first and second axes respectively and are spaced along a third axis which is transverse to the first and second axes, for locating a hole-forming element with respect to the members and guiding the thus located element along said third axis during driving of the hole-forming element into the first member whereby a hold thus formed in the first member extends along said third axis for application therethrough, axially guided by the jig so positioned and/or the hole, of a connecting element to interconnect the members, such that first and second portions of the connecting element thus applied are received at correct positions in the first and second members respectively, the jig comprising: locators arranged to be received against the first and second members and rotationally about the first and second axes; and a guide defining an axis that is fixed relative to the locators (“guide axis”), the guide being configured to support the hole-forming element such that it extends along the guide axis and being arranged such that the guide axis is coaxial with the third axis when the locators are so received, whereby said driving of the hole-forming element forms the hole along the third axis.
