Our cottages are being constructed in modules. When the modules are set on a permanent foundation, they will be bolted together along the ‘marriage line’ where the two modules come together: at the floor joists, at the end walls, and across the top at the ridge beams. This requires large bolts that can withstand California earthquakes. With four modules, and a marriage line length of about 70 feet for each cottage, we need a lot of bolts. Our friends at Ababa Bolt gave us what we needed. They gave us 80 5/8″ x 5″ bolts and 40 3/4″ x 5″ bolts, along with 120 washers and nuts. That’s a lot of steel!
The next time you are shopping for hard-to-find fasteners and custom parts, stop by one of Ababa’s stores in San Marcos or El Cajon and tell them THANK YOU for their support of our students and veterans.
