If the Amish can do it....

So today my dad and I framed a few walls in the basement, and to frame up the 2nd floor stairway area.

In terms of time and ease, I could have rented an air compressor and nail gun. Instead, I went to the old fashioned, nail-by-hammer-in-hand method.

Why you might ask?

Well, for the most part, I thought it would be manageable. It was, but I have a few blisters forming, and my arm is tired. Also, I wanted the experience of framing a few walls this way.

Oh well, if the Amish can do it....so can I. Now when it comes to farming or making electricity out of unconventional methods.....they have me there...
