Day 5 shed! Reminder that framing on the ground is easier 🤦 ##framing #tools #construction #cold
What happens here
A horizontal piece of lumber, likely a header for a window/door opening or part of the double top plate, is placed into the framed wall. The worker uses a hammer to make slight adjustments to its position, ensuring it fits snugly. Once positioned correctly, a framing nail gun is used to securely fasten it to the vertical studs and any adjoining lumber.
Goal: Add horizontal structural components to the wall frame.
