>I've been doing this since 16 and until my lot were born five years ago it was a full time thing.
3 days ago I was up in a tree working on the treehouse annex for my kids and thought I'd hand nail this platform together as it seemed the best option.
Hand nailing isn't as slow as some think and if done right if a fast paced rythmic thing..as the head of the last nail is set the next nail is on site and ready to be driven.......you gotta understand that this was drilled into me years ago.
So here am I driving these nails in the woods behind my house and I hit the rythym that I haven't hit in many years...isn't that interesting Think I that once learned the motion and the rythym don't go away.
Fast forward two days to the Doc explaining the inflamation between the ribs ....
I haven't felt this cage crushing feeling since Rod the Aussie Kicked me in the ribs, in the same spot as the day before as a lesson to perfect my blocking.....
Roll on nail guns ...
Hammers....or is it getting older suck!!!!
Happy fourth for my murican mates....God bless the Idea this Country was founded on.
