hard day of work and a beer and some weed at the beach after not bad life i’ll take it

i am really happy i’m learning a lot more at this new company and getting more leadership position and allowed to manage projects more or less and show my skills i feel like everyday im learning new ways and better ways of doing stuff and its so cool to be paid to do that

think i have proved myself because i literally have kept up with everyone and now we are doing framing im even excelling and running circles around guys ya i’m not the most high end finish guy of all time but i can do literally 90% of stuff really well especially the hard labor

i don’t think i’ve ever been pushed harder in my life maybe since football practice or tennis practice as a kid this new company and crew i’m on is super fucking gnarly these guys just don’t stop they go and go and go the tank never runs out it’s wild but it’s good for the soul

it’s been good at this new job proving myself as a real high end carpenter all around framer , finish guy and project manager I still have a lot to learn but i generally know how to do most things and have a good knowledge and muscle memory in doing them also i work my ass off

road soda on the west side after work gunna go hit the beach

boss taught me a cool trick today regarding how to find square when framing an non square area using pythagorean theorem you can make a triangle then make an arch and calculate the rise over run and pull that number on your arch and you get square it was sick

working hard today framed a whole deck up with one other guy we busted ass didn’t wear gloves got PT all over my hands other guy used placement nailer for brackets i just used hand bangs
