By 2:00 PM we had started the stick build, after 4 trips to Home Depot (less than a mile away) to get the right materials.
Like everything else on this building project we over build, level and plum.
If 2x6's are called for we used 2x8.
If 3 boards on the header are called for we use 4.
Header gets screwed,glued and power nailed ,with Lloyd emptying the chamber several times. The way he works that power nailer I swear he wants to be an artillery gunner.
The level on top of the header is picture perfect, given the age of the building this was a major accomplishment.
By 5:30 Saturday we were framed!!
Time for a meal, tidy up tools, go home and feed the dog.
