Saturday Morning Framing

Subfloor is done… Now we're starting the framing. We're doing some traveling over leave, but I wanted to get some of the wall framing done before we go. So here is the fore wall; I might get one of the sidewalls done before we take off. We'll see. Key take away from this part is that angle clips (those little metal braces you can screw into 90 and 45 degree framing) are the key to success with this. I'm a little too much of a do'er (as opposed to thinker) to be able to pull off awesome hammer and nail framing…It's mostly busted thumbs and cracked wood. So I'm embracing the end result of 300 years of industrialization: those little metal clips that make it much easier and straighter to frame than just hammering it.
