[@BWIL2515]

Just found y'all looking forward to more of the build series that's a skilled young man you got there. I'm a father of four and all of them has helped me frame trim elec well I'm a retired GC a working GC and did all trades from foundation to roof I always really appreciate those that do this type of work and my oldest son is just like yours when it comes to heights the boy is strong as a ox but put him off the ground man that ladder doesn't stop shaking until he gets down 😊😊😊😊 I'm subscribed now and thanks for sharing y'all how a great day

By the way, I did catch your posts from Erwin,TN. I grew up just a couple of minutes down the road from there. I appreciate y'all helping out the folks like that.🤜🤛

Love the team work!! Wish I had that many laborers...er, I mean kids.😆 Your blocking cut trick is pretty nice. However, you need to adjust it a bit for the saw kerf.

@@bobvrnrThey might seem affordable but the food alone the last 25 years just about broke me😁 The offset of the table is figured to the inside of the blade. The manufacturer allows for the kerf in the design. When I do it right, they fit like a glove

Great project with a great family. You have figured it out. Look forward to copying you.

[@tickcreekranch]

12 ft. walls?

[@tickcreekranch]

@@joeblow9284 yes👍

[@shawnsmith4058]

​@@tickcreekranchWhy so tall ? Looks like fun 😊

[@tickcreekranch]

@ the 12’ ceiling is so I can get equipment inside. Plus we needed the additional height on the front of the shop to attach a 18’ lean-to cover the length of the building. It’s going to be so nice to finally have some protection 😁

Man, you guys kick ass. Working hard and having fun doing it with so much progress so quickly. As a family too!!!

[@tickcreekranch]

@@gauthier1123 I’ll tell ya, I’m feeling it in my old bones though. We work together pretty efficiently. My 19 yo already has 10 years on the job experience as a carpenter so that helps quite a bit. He’s more skilled than most men I’ve worked with.

Kids today love their way overused catchphrases and words like tons, super, crazy, and insane, which they use everywhere in place of much more descriptive and diverse words. So stay in school kids, don't flunk english, and your vocabulary will be much more expensive and you'll possess more intelligent communication skills.

@@bryandale7125 “vocabulary will be much more expensive” tf? Rocks and glass houses come to mind. You crack me up
