It turned out to be a beautiful day today, nice and sunny with some snow finally melting. Hopefully the forecast changes for tomorrow, calling for snow and freezing rain.

Smashed my phone up pretty good while doing ceiling joists on the second duplex we have on the go right now.

Looks like the Sonim XP8 will be in my future, enough is enough with breaking silly phones.

Congrats, I’m sure you’ll get alot of use out of that

Managed to get half of the interior walls up on the duplex I’m framing today. Have to leave the other half out so the block layers can do the party wall tomorrow.

Glad to see I’m not the only one dealing with the snow framing.

I can’t stand all the wasted time cleaning snow and ice off of the floor just St build walls.

Atleast you get a little break on the ceiling, but snow on the roof is a bummer too.

Now that Roll up the rim is back at timmies, the coffee breaks have started coming alot more frequently!

Congrats on your new tools. Hard to go to HD to just get one thing.

Its impossible for me to just get one thing.

The gloves were all I actually needed.

Couldn’t help but pick up a few more of my favorite spade bits.

That’s great news, congrats!

Another chilly day up here, calling for some freezing rain starting this afternoon. Hopefully we can get the landing and stairs into this duplex before the weather gets worse.

The weather up here has just been horrible ever since winter shower up to stay in November. Between the 25cm+ snowfalls and the -40C temperatures, I just can’t wait for spring to show up so we cam actually get some solid full days in outside framing.

Those are the only spade bits I buy. I’ve probably got 50 of the 5/8 kicking around lol

So far today has just been spent back framing and drinking coffee. Waiting patiently for a deck package to be delivered but I might give up on that soon amd just go home to finish insulating and sheathing my garage.

Gotta get the man cave in shape before the big new years party!

+5C amd rain today, but dropping to around -20C tonight. Roads are going to turn bad fast.

Great to see a few redemptions coming in! Congrats guys.

I run the bostitch strap shot, and have never had any issues. It fits most places and I don’t think it’s ever jammed.

I wouldn’t mind giving dewalts 20v a try though, since I’m moving further and further away from air hoses.

Today’s the day I finally ordered myself the Martinez framing hammer! Super excited to see it come in.

TOTD WAS a simple Cresent wrench to install our new dishwasher and unhook my pool pump.

Too bad I had to go buy one (really got 4) because they always vanish after we do the anchor bolts on a house.
