    As a carpenter with 20 years of building homes & years of consuming building content, you, Tim, have by far the best videos out of everyone. I don’t know if it’s just because you keep it real and don’t try to bull 💩 your way through things & make yourself look like the best framer to ever live or if it’s the subtle humor that you lace into your videos, but whatever it is know that it’s appreciated.

Our lives are way more important than installing plywood on a roof. 👊🏻

    I used to wear steel toes, but since recently i'm doing mostly finish work I've been wearing Etnies Marana skate shoes all day everyday. Would be interested to try the keens out with a carbon toe though. I do bounce back to framing sites to help out when the finish work is slow. Not on topic for shoes, but my favorite workwear is the Blaklader ripstop pants with the integrated pockets. I only have to put on my bags when I'm doing framing and even then only when it's more than making sure i have sufficient blocking for cabinets/handrails/towel bars etc. The gusseted crotch is really nice XD
    I'd be interested to see what your finish crew looks like as a fellow PNW builder =) Hope to see you at IBS in Feb!

    I lived in Wolverine DuraShocks boots for years. Then they discontinued my favorite model. Still looking for my new favorite.
    Having fallen off a roof and boo-boo'd my wrist, I take fall protection seriously. Once you get used to it, it is just a normal part of your day. Having gear that is comfortable makes that transition so much quicker.
    I know you describe your tools as you use them, but would be cool to have a complete overview of your your favorites, why you choose them, and maybe some tricks of the trade that they help you with.
    You mention the Perkins Brothers, maybe a collaboration where you visit each other's projects and compare the differences in east cost versus west coast building.

    Absolutely wear fall protection, just had an employee who fell off the roof while installing underlayment. He stepped on the release liner of Benjamin Opdyke VaporDry and slid off the roof and fell about 15ft to the ground. Which doesnt seem like a whole lot but resulted in a broken arm, 3 broken ribs, a punctured lung and broken hip. Unfortunate situation that could have been avoided using safety harness.

    I'm catching up with all your videos, but if you haven't done one on lateral bracing for trusses, that is probably still something that needs attention.

    Keep in mind that you need to consider the fall arrest distance if you do fall so you don’t hit the ground or other obstacles before it actually breaks the stitching away, otherwise, your set up is just for show.
    It’s also important to come up with a plan that if someone does fall, and ends up hanging in their harness, you can rescue them quickly. There are serious / deadly medical issues that can happen if hanging in a harness for too long.

    It's the law to use fall protection, it's more about not going broke through government fines than safety. As a business owner, I never wear fall protection, because I'm not required to. I fell once carrying a sheet, I rolled over and broke my ankle after stepping on the rope. Roof jacks and planks are more than enough for me.
