#simpletipsunday archive edition... on Tuesday...because I’m on holidays and forgot. 🤷🏼‍♂️ . Do you calculate your own material take-offs or leave that to the lumberyard? . Calculating roof sheathing is fairly straightforward. Even with a more complex or mixed pitch, the covered floor area is multiplied buy the appropriate slope factor separately then added together. #mathneverlies #framermath #materialtakeoff • . . . . . #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #roughframing (at Beaver Creek, Yukon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1IH8DQgMFS/?igshid=y3feo1les01f

It was roughly 11 years ago (before Instagram ever existed) I built my first house... while in Mexico... with a crew of ~8 high school students and my wife... and this hammer... and one circular saw (corded). Every nail was hand driven. It was a learning experience before I had even thought about trades full time. I was most experienced and given the (single) power tool. Moral of the story: don’t let flashy photos convince you the the nicest tools are required to complete good work. A hammer is a hammer, a saw is a saw. If they are functioning, go to work and put your best out there. It is better to have flashy work and “reject” tools than to have your work rejected because you put all your effort into building a flashy set of tools. /rant #motivationalmonday #missiontrip #lifebeforeinstagram • . . . . . #hammer #craftsman #truestory #mystory #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #roughframing #tools #toolsofthetrade #handtools #rant (at Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu41hhOghI5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n83fop9tdqrs

The @martineztools version of my logo. Mighty handsome if you ask me. . There’s is something about handmade tools, they always meet a higher standard. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed swinging the M1 for the passed 2 years. Tomorrow, the square puts its first day in the at the office. #martineztools #speedsquare #m1 #hammer • . . . . . #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #roughframing #toolsofthetrade #newtooltuesday #handtooltuesday #handtools (at Chilliwack, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuX7fHAA0KA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ioxz19cq07f3

The technical term for this roof line is “fluster cluck”, it was cover in 4th year carpentry school during the unit “roof lines that home owners shouldn’t have to look at”. 🤣 #flustercluck #busylines #soffits #roofline • . . . . #facia #patio #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #roughframing (at Chilliwack, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrjJsGrA5UT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1efat3qt0uxy8

And I was worried this @hitachipowertoolsusa cordless spiker would have difficulty with the timberstrand. She’s performing better than some of our pneumatics! #byroncutsthecord #cordless #tools • . . . . #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #punchlist #backframing #roughframing #timberstrand #lsl (at Langley, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoaNjSSgsCD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f68tmom6lna7

I posted a tip earlier about cutting high angle bevels with a circular saw. Today I had a scenario where that knowledge was useful. #roughframing #bevel #tricksofthetrade #knowyourtools • . . . . #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #pitches (at Langley, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnotJaDDEcr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10k2wnr6xzxvb

Framing tip • Occasionally you will need to cut a bevel outside the capacity of the saw. Here is a method to achieve that cleanly and accurately. (Its much easier when you’re not restricted to the frame of a camera.) #tooltips #bevel #skillsaw • . . . . #makita #makitatools #roughframing #problemsolving #youcantakethattothebank #byronbuilds #tips #tricks #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction (at Chilliwack, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnR5pX-l4Wk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l5oi382362gi

Finally got some #epdm laid on the roof so we can start building the deck. A quality rubber job by @mark_laros_ and his crew. I was able to get these ‘sleepers’ installed before it got too hot. At least I was able to get it level on this #old house #renovation. #rooftopdecks are challenging. #roughframing #notmydayjob #twostepsforward (at Berlin, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC15U5chA8p/?igshid=72xes1hhj6m9
