Good evening ToddGood morning Kevin [emoji106]
And if there's any other framers, builders, trim folks, remodelers, let's hear it...always a good topic of discussion, and maybe we can create a homeowner, remodeling forum to help each other out.
I built houses for most of my life. I miss it some days, other days I'm glad I'm not on a 12/12 with a nail gun in my hand.......
Good morning gentleman.
Ever have a day when you jump up there and immediately know you don't belong up there. It's happened to me a couple times. Not sure why it happens but I'm cut guy when that happens.

I miss framing as well at times....I sure don't miss toe boards on a 10/12, 12/12 one single bit...I built houses for most of my life. I miss it some days, other days I'm glad I'm not on a 12/12 with a nail gun in my hand.......
Good morning gentleman.
I was doing a house on Lake Sherwood that was about 50' in the back. Two sub levels, then two storys, with a 12/12 - 10/12 bastard hip roof. On the morning I was planning to start running the plywood on the roof, I woke up from a bad dream. I dreamed that I fell off the back of that house. It was so realistic, I remember thinking that I was a dead man.
Now that was a morning that I really didn't want to get on the roof.

That's when you know you're pushing to hard. Had a few of those myself.I was doing a house on Lake Sherwood that was about 50' in the back.

I think it's got something to do with age. I don't much like high anymore. I really don't like tight. Getting claustrophobic. Used to insulate crawl space houses now a small car gives me the creeps.
Lost my footing on a toe board many yrs ago, on a 12/12...I had only seconds to sink the claw of my Estwing 22oz hammer in a sheet of 1/2" OSB as I was sliding...if it were not already in my hand when we were nailing off the decking, I'd a hit the ground. You couldn't have pushed a straight pin up my rear end the rest of the day.
Thanks, SWH, hope this finds you well.Good morning greendohn hope you have a great Sunday my friend

Good morning Jason have a great day my friendMorning gents, good to catch an extra hour or so of sleep. Yeh, I'm one of those folks that even on a wknd, I get up around 6, 7 in the morning. 75 now heading to mid 90's again today. Got a little grass to finish up from yesterday, get it knocked out here directly. Looking like a little fish fry this afternoon...sentence about 20/25 bream to a 350 deg peanut oil bath, do some hush puppies, fries, and coleslaw as well. Enjoy your day folks, stay cool, be safe.
ThanksGood evening Todd
