A	8
B	10

Question 6

While water-based paint and varnish has vastly improved and makes for much easier cleanup and often lower odors, when working with certain materials like OSB, it's best to use oil based primer to seal the material and prevent the material from swelling from moisture. (True or False).

A	True
B	False

Question 7

Can you use paint as a primer? (Yes or No)

A	Yes

Question 10

What do you call the drawing view that shows the relative position of existing structures looking down from above? You would use this type of drawing to show setback measures.

A	Grade View
B	Side View
C	Plan View

Question 10 Explanation:

Drawing a plan view is a requirement for permitting. Local planning agencies can see that you have positioned your project correctly on your property, and also use this drawing for other permitting purposes.

Question 11

A	True
B	False

Question 12

Measuring the pitch of the roof is easy. The angle, or pitch, of a roof is calculated by the number of inches it rises vertically for every 12 inches it extends horizontally. For example, a roof that rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run has a 6-in-12 pitch. (True or False)

A	False
B	True

Question 13

Use this URL = https://www.homedepot.com/c/ab/insulation-r-value-chart/9ba683603be9fa5395fab9091a9131f Scroll down to the R-Value Insulation Chart. Based on our Hood River location (Zone), what R value should we have put in the rafters?

A	R 38 to R 60
B	R 19
C	R 49 to R 60

Question 13 Explanation:

The unfortunate bottom line is that we compromised on our insulation thickness. We chose R-19, because we didn't want to have a really thick rafter system. We would have needed twice the rafter thickness to get the R - value necessary. "(Unfortunately) Most homes only have R19 in attics. To give you an idea that's only 5 1/2 inches of insulation. ... So by adding another R19 “5 1/2 inches will give you an R38 value. And that's a good number to live with." The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation. The recommended level for most attics is to insulate to R-38 or about 10 to 14 inches, depending on insulation type.

Question 14

One of the best ways to change a supervisor's mind and have him / her follow your suggestion is ______________________________.

A	to ignore their instructions and make it appear that you agree with what they said.

C	to ignore their instructions and shake your head.

Question 15

What is the purpose of priming before painting?

A	To improve the depth of color of the paint.
B	To provide an improved surface for the paint to adhere to (Adhesion), and to help seal the material (Sealing)
C	To improve the hardness of the paint.

Question 16

We used 2" screws for installing the interior sheeting. I purchased these because of their all-purpose nature. The rule of thumb for having the right screw length is ________________.

A	The general rule of thumb is that the screw should equal in length to the thickness of the material that is being attached.
B	The general rule of thumb is that the screw should enter at least half the thickness of the bottom material, e.g. 3/4″ into a 2 x 4.
C	The general rule of thumb is that the screw should enter at least 1/4 of the thickness of the bottom material, e.g. 3/4″ into a 2 x 4.

Question 17

Question 21

Because our new construction project was less than 100 sq. feet in size and did not alter the existing home, we were not required to get a building permit and therefore not required to have framing and other inspections related to construction. Because we altered the existing electrical panel and installed new electrical outlets / light fixture, we were required BY OREGON STATE LAW to get an electrical permit. (True or False)

A	True

Question 38

You are at risk of disasters and danger when you don't follow instructions. (True or False)

A	True
B	False

Question 38 Explanation:

Disasters – things just don’t happen the way they should when instructions are not followed. Mess happens – cakes flop – hobby kits are twisted – plants don’t grow. There are natural consequences when we don’t follow instructions – it is pretty obvious to see. We need to teach our children that when we don’t follow instructions and things are broken, or become unusable it is a matter of poor stewardship. Instructions are there to help us learn and do things right. Danger – We can shrug off the importance of instructions and say “Men don’t read instructions” or “I’m a person who likes to find out for themselves” or “Don’t have time” or “I know what I’m doing” and in many cases these ways of thinking may work out and we may get away with it – but there will come a time when you should have followed instructions and it will be costly that you didn’t. Following instructions is a way of building on what others have learnt.

Question 39

Use this link - https://www.mycarpentry.com/rafter-span-tables.html. If you are using 2" x 8" Douglas Fir, #2 grade rafters set at 24" on center for your roof system, what is the maximum span that your rafter can maintain, if you are designing for a live load of 40 lbs/square foot (psf)?

A	16 feet, 8 inches
B	14 feet, 4 inches.
C	13 feet, 3 inches

Question 39 Explanation:

Interesting here is to see how the different types of wood can offer different span lengths. In this case Southern Pine #1 grade wins.

Question 40

Quickly admitting and owning your mistakes is a sign of maturity and makes for good relationships. (True or False)

A	False
B	True

Question 41

The live load on a roof is the _____________________________.

A	Weight of any temporary object on it (like snow).
B	Weight of the roof structure itself.

Question 41 Explanation:

The live load on a roof is the weight of any temporary objects on the roof. Where snow isn't a problem, the live load can come from people working on the roof and any equipment they take on to the roof with them. The roof must be able to support the sum of its dead load and any anticipated live load, so the roof has to be designed with a load limit that takes into account both of these loads. A typical roof is expected to support a live load of 20 psf; this minimum live load is in addition to the dead load that the roof must bear.

Question 42

The smaller the gauge number, the larger the wire diameter. (True or False)

A	False.
B	True.

Question 46 Explanation:

Question 48

Use this URL = https://www.homedepot.com/c/ab/insulation-r-value-chart/9ba683603be9fa5395fab9091a9131f Scroll down to the R-Value Insulation Chart Which area of the home design (Attic, walls, floors, crawlspaces) gets the highest R value insulation and why?

A	Walls.
