Day 5 shed! Reminder that framing on the ground is easier 🤦 ##framing #tools #construction #cold
What happens here
A piece of lumber, likely part of a doubled top plate or blocking, is being prepared. The worker, wearing Milwaukee gloves, uses a framing nail gun to attach one piece of wood to another. This is often done on saw horses for stability and easier access. This pre-assembly speeds up the on-wall installation process.
Goal: Assemble or prepare a section of the top plate or blocking.
