Help me out here...
A couple of weeks ago I was assembling truss in a manner I have now FOR YEARS only to come back from lunch to find a know-it-all co-worker and house rigger re-doing my work. I've always put the bolts like so:
2 bolts facing one way the other 2 the other way. I know it's longer to strike and all but really I don't think there's a "right" or "wrong" way to face the bolts. As long as they're on there and tight I see no reason why either my way or their way is wrong. They wanted all of the bolts facing the same direction.
How do you do it? Or can anyone prove to me that ther's a right and wrong way to do it backing it up with scientific reasoning...
