My Facetruck thread.

I know the kind of guy you're talking about special. I was about 20 ad went to work for a framer once. On the second day he pulled the book out of his back pocket and started cutting rafters. I asked how much lower that dormer was than the rest and he told me it was the same height. I told him he was cutting them too short and at the wrong angle. I even told him we could take the two he already cut and check. This was my second day working for him. He told me they were right and he cut the ones for the roof the same way the day before. I stepped back said Ok you're the boss. The section he was cutting was about 10 ft narrower than the other and the rafters he cut by the book came out 18 in short. He was madder at me than himself. I didn't work for him long. I don't have any idea if he made it in the framing business, he was loading 3 skill saws, an air compressor, a table saw and several nail guns in a Mercury Bobcat every day. I'm pretty sure I'm glad he never had the chance to teach me framing.
