    Leo's mischievous grin when he's doing exactly what you are telling him not to do is so cute! My memory of my kids doing the same thing around that age was that it was hard not to smile at the cuteness-the first twenty times, but it became a lot easier to look disapproving after that.

      Yes, the older generation did almost anything. As the next generation came they did a little less and so on. All yhus new generation knows how to do is stare at a monitor and want be a gamer or influencer (whatever that is).

    Another way to make the Birds mouth is to cut the end piece off first , sit the board on top of the wall and use your square to draw the birds mouth using the wall and you should come out with a perfect birds mouth.❤❤❤❤

  • @poopcicleog6629
    @poopcicleog6629 Рік тому +77

    Here's a couple tips to save you some time with the ratfers.... Use the first properly cut rafter as a jig for the rest. Trace the rafter on the new board, just make sure you cut off your pencil lines. You can also mark the rafter placement on the ledger plate, like when you lay out stud placement on your sill plates... you can then line up one side of your hangers with the marks, nail that side, and youll have hangers in place to set the rafters on. Then you can nail up the other sides of the hangers as you go.

    I love all your videos! They show how beautiful winter can be! But I could not survive the snow!

    Are you planning on putting on your roof right after you finish framing both additions to the garage? The zip system sheathing has a 6 month exposure rating, so keep that in mind. With the snowfall in your area, the exposure life span may be even less.
