Back in my day we set and sink, 2 hits that's it!

Not those nails you didn't

⚒️

Not sure why they need a railroad spike for that but I’m no building inspector either. 😆

Engineer likely called for it

Yup. 😆 Architect probably put it on the plans. Wonder if they cut off the 3” sticking down below the plate???

🤣

Setting a spike was easier with a 22oz hammer, not a 18oz.

We're not installing trim here 💯

You can tell he is a newbie. His shoe is stained with the blood of miss hits from that hammer.

I remember my first time swinging a hammer

Back in my day, we used steel forged spikes. And we beat them in with a 9 pound hammer. Real men back then.

80's were prime 💯⚒️

the tap n slap is a tried and true for sure, not many actually operate like that anymore. It's like social media is ruining people hand eye coordination lol I miss watching the old roofing videos on VHS with pops. Legends for gang-cutting rafters, stacking hips and valleys by eye Larry Haun- Another roof ripping legend. Now we have 1 guy on TikTok doing dances (presumably) while on a customer's roof and not even understand what hurricane straps are. it's a problem... I wish we still had people like this in plentiful numbers

Fortunately, my kids grew up with a dad who did exactly just that 🙌 I'm very humble about the fact i'm God's gift to construction, i don't even bring it up. I learned from those dudes bro, and I pass it on. What's wild is you do the same exact thing because you have the same exact knowledge. Posting with no traction can flat wear you out. Staying on topic and being consistent builds an audience and that takes time and you've got to be a salesmen at the same time. Become a brand worth looking at, don't ever try to sell one post.

My post to real ones are not for sale. I have never hit the big pay valley on here. But without a doubt, you should be monetized. compared to reposting screen grabbing sloptubing accounts flooded on here. Maybe one day, until then...We do what we do best. Build with pride, confidence and precision. That's all I can do for now.

go sign up and look for my handle, which is super easy. We are going to change your game. At least people who get to see it

You're not a joke, and I'm not hacked. You're just in the beginning of something badass with the right people at the moment

I've always wondered what santa claus does in the off season

He aint worked his salt first couple months after 🎄 It's like nobody's ever heard of 2% before

Straight from jazzercise to the job site!

It wasn't just me then 💀

Perfect! 👍🏻

Bigger hammer*

Some people don't have what it takes to frame with a 2ib all day

Love the uggs! My daughter would approve the colors! Where can I get some?!? 🤯🤣😂😅

Uline, seems to have the plug right now. Ask for safety toe or they will send you the electrician version.

Maybe a 12 or 16,,, but you are not two tapping that damn nail. Walk on white boy.

I’d sink one of those and then go hit the ice bath

Odd way to take lunch but alright

Lunch? Skipped and went straight to dinner.

You drove that with 2 hits, hilarious shit right there.

In 25 years of framing I've never used a nail that big. No way in hell you sinking that in 2 hits.

Well, back in my day we didn't have hammers, so we pushed them in with our thumbs.

BARN spike hell ye set and sink, pansies

At this point the trusses will be set next week

Right, and look at that tiny snivelling little hammer, I set them bad boys hot dip wax and a double jack, eyes closed! What happened to real men?

For real 💪

I'll take never happened for 400.

No you didn't.

I had to come back to this

Hahaha

No, you are talking about 16 penny nails, not one of these railroad spikes.

Mending plates for days .. I wonder if that’s a grave for hammers below

as a truss design expert this is painful to watch

That is a long ass nail goddamn I would very much like to see someone sink that in 2 hits with a What is that a 16 oz hammer, tops? Especially at that angle and position

That ain’t goin anywhere

If it does, I'll stop using those fasteners.

I believe I would have used a screw.

must be american wood....the shit they sell us here in canada has maybe 5 or 6 growth rings and stands crookeder than a biden

Thosecare log cabin spikes. Ive built several homes and NEVER used those anywhere

In my day we pounded rebar through oak with balled fists and sheer grit.

Larry F’n Haun! 2 hits.

Better check that job site @ICEgov

Seems like a good thing to use screws on IMO.

I prefer to sink the 8 and 10 inch spikes with only 1 hit. Time is money

Not a spike like that you didn't

Not with a nail like that there sport.
