   Greetings Junkhound,

   Bet that nailgun would have been a monster. Do you have one from back then.

   Also, this post, in response to your question, will bump the thread through the 'recent discussion' listing again which will increase it's viewing.

   Perhaps it will catch someone's attention that can help you with advice, history, comment or whathaveyou.

   Just thought I'd tell you that.

   Cheers

    

   be on a personal note

   All I have to do to accomplish that is head down to the yard and buy green framing lumber!

   But do be old enough to have done what you are thinking about you would have to know what a "Halstead" is.

   They can't get your Goat if you don't tell them where it is hidden.

   Halstead what a monster as a scrub I lugged that old caddy around day after day I really appreciate the old  2"  lumber we used less craki'n and creeping when you framed it in. I'm not old just smell like old growth.

    

   If I wanted to have a easy job I would work at Burger King.

   Framed with 16d commons,hand nails. Nailguns were for sissys. Now I'm a sissy.

   Only a few contractors used nailguns, Paslodes, I believe were the only brand around here for a few years.I guess it was the early 70's when nailguns were used on most framing jobs.
