Awesome! I remember my Canadian history when the lumberjacks would gracefully walk across floating logs to help position them. Apparently the dancing prowess of those guys was equivalent to their logging skills and many folk songs were written about them in that regard. Someone needs to write a similar song about the crazy framer.

Watching him have fun with the stapler makes me 1) not miss being a framer and 2) not miss using hitatchi in the winter. Of course dewalt nailer is just as bad. Bloody winter time! We always used 2 3/8" nails on the roof and the floor, That way we didn't have to have a separate gun just to do sheeting only different length nails.

@@itaintrocketscience try pulling off a sheet that's stapled 6 on center down 16-oc studs next time you're on a job. You'll rip the sheet to shreds before you get them to let go.

How well does your air nailer work in the cold? When I was a tech at Goodyear we had a couple of impacts we used outside to remove tires for repair. In the winter if one was forgotten outside along with the hose, the whole thing would ice up and stop working. We had to leave the tools and hoses inside and take them out just long enough to pull a tire or check air.

[@scotthuff2793]

I stupidly wrote the question before video was finished so my bad However , that being said ( in Pennsylvania at least ) we always use ridge vent because our inspectors argue those little squares don't vent enough for a roif that size. Also you can drill 1 1/2 holes along the length of the roof hips then install a foam low profile vent then you put caps over it. I personally dont like that method. But I digress.

Roof shingles come on a truck and they crane them to the top, windows off a ladder or a zoomboom with a platform on the forks or build a temporary scaffold.

Alot of the time the truss company will build the gable 3 1/2 smaller than the roof rafter so you can have an effective cantilevers for lookouts. I've never tried building my own trusses so I have no clue about the math involved for figuring that out
