    Considering the 'ideal conditions' for water skying rather than roof work, that went excellently. You must be pleased.

    Nice job on the trusses guys... Looking real good....! Love how the cats and Tux are use to the construction and even play around in it i.e. the two cats playing between the ladder and the one tabby got paint on it's paw... I know those boots are probably real comfortable but don't ya think it's time to get some new boots Marty?? Get some like Jules... Her boots look sturdy, especially the toes... 👍👍

  • @ulfholt6434
    @ulfholt6434 2 года назад +3

    I observe that when you are cutting, you are cutting on the middle of the marking. Please remember that you then will get the length a bit shorter if you don’t take into account the dimension of the blade. The best is to cut exactly on the side of the marking, but please select the correct side.

  • @debbyvancenbrock2100

    Hey Julie, when using aluminum it's best that you have gloves on as that aluminum penetrates into your system and that's last thing that you want is a heavy metal in your system. Love you guys you're the best

  • @Young937phoenix
    @Young937phoenix 2 года назад

    I bought that same saw from harbor freight because I seen u build a whole house with it but I have had to buy a digital angle finder to zero out the blade every so often u can get them on Amazon it is worth it. And when that slide raise is rough just take some 1000 or 1500 grit sand paper go over it real quick then put some grease on it. It will roll better than brand new.

  • @pffft111

    @ 4.41 Julie, when you are using a dropsaw you really should keep your hand that is holding the timber that is being cut much further away from the blade.

    Tip for you. cut a chunk off the screen with the chop saw, then you a have a roll the right width much faster without the hacking with scissors.

    Use some WD40 on the chop-saw, so it slides smoothly. Always use a piece of scrap wood to check vertical cut is correct.

    Those rafters on the end "barge rafters" or something similar are called "lookouts". Those are way better to support the roof than the rake only style.. Keep on, you're doing a great job!😉
