Always a great educational video. There are excellent opportunities in construction trades considering America has a housing shortage of over 3 million homes. Keep on building! 😃 🙂
Maybe dumb question, I’m trying to get on a framing crew, I have other construction experience and some school but everyone wants people with 4+ years of framing experience. Where do you start?
Honestly, sometimes your best bet is to simply walk up to a a job site and ask if they’re hiring. If they’re not currently looking for people, chances are they can at least get you in touch with someone who is. I’ve heard of a lot of people successfully getting hired this way 👍
@@Coffmanconstruction no you didn’t mate. You had to roll out both hoses and plug in both guns. Haha. Don’t be a tight arse and invest in some Paslodes. 😁
You don't save that much using a pneumatic setup, especially on a job like this. We just build the extra cost into our price... Never understood why guys insist on dragging around a hose whilst listening to that god awful compresser going all day. Each to there own though, you have alot of knowledge for such a young guy, nice work man!
@@Coffmanconstruction a truss isn't necessarily straight from the top to the bottom. Next time take a straight edge and your whiskey stick (level) and check for plumb at mid span. The lay out can get off as much as 1/16
How do you find the time and mental energy to work every day as a framer, while also filming and editing and uploading videos to YT and doing your other social media? Is it not overwhelming? Beig a framer is tiring enough by itself, idk how you keep all of this up. Also your choice of music is great. How do you manage to find just the right song for the right moment (like waiting on your boy to nail the hammer flip behind the back)? It's gotta take a lot of time just searching for the right tracks
As a retired carpenter, thanks for the chuckle 💪👍

Now we know what takes contractor's so long.
Wow mate you took out your compressor and hoses just to nail a few pieces of timber. Us Aussies would be at home by the time you finished your coffee.
Actually my trailer was parked onsite and the compressor is wired into the wall, so all I had to do was plug in the gun
