Piffin,
How are you? How was your Holiday?
I use the 10" Bigfoot wormdrive with a swingtable on it. The saw can cut up to 75°
Piffin, I've noticed another guy with the name Framer, I didn't think that was possible.

Drawing.
These are pictures of a bay roof that I did this summer.
Sorry everyone to be annoying but I just learned how to do this.
Joe Carola
This is a house that I framed four years ago.

Yep, that one is a 10-4. Same photos as #21 that Piffin denies having anything to do with. Half of good livin' is staying out of bad situations.
OK, I misunderstood what you meant. I thunk you were talking about the ones that framer is correcting. I did edit that. I first wrote the text and posted it, forgetting to paste the link in, so I went back immediately and edited to add it.
Meaning that I'm too tired and going to bed.
Framer, hope you are doing OK with that new one in the oven.
Be good!

I'm trying to post more than one picture.
Well, it looks like you got three of the same pic up there if that's what you wanted.
I do that sometimes and have to go back and hit edit/ manage attachments/check or select one and hit the delete button.
To post more than one of different photos, you have to be sure to wait until the anme of your photo or ather attachment reads in the list, then go get another from the browse button.
There's a fair amt of waiting and sometimes it seems to never come up so I hit upload agin and that's how I end up with two.
Once you upload, hit done button and then post.
and then, you can click it to see it here and right click on the image on screen to select, copy image lacation, and then use the link you just copied to paste into a JLC thread since they are handicapped about photos over there..

Completely unrelated to the post but could you anyone else here recommend a good book or books on framing?
CAG,
There's alot of books out there it all depends on what your looking for. Do you want Baisic Framing, Advanced Framing, Roof Framing?
Let me know.
Joe Carola
Lets start with basic, and roof framing, I can frame walls fine but once you start talking about a roof I'm useless, I do mostly trim work but want to learn more about framing
Love your pics. Nice work. Wish the framers I use would keep it that clean and tight.Greg
Hey Framer!! Stop stealing my pictures!! Start posting the doghouses YOU build!!
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
I was going to flame you just for practice, but I ran out of fuel :-)
Nice tight stuff.
I especially like the first shot...I see one of my favorite sticks...

Hey Joe, it was a good one.
I told someone here that I was going to teach you something special about framing. Check out my picture...LOL
Only one person can have your login name but then you choose a nickname in your profile. Those can be duplicated. we've got a couple of doc's and I lost count of the number of Larry's - odd, that one, isn't it?.

Works well here. Missing the two last photos for a full page if that was the intention.
That is to say 10 showing of possible 12.

Seriously nice work dude! If you get into NY in the spring I'd love to hire you to help me frame some work on my new/old crib. Aught to be a hoot trying to tie into a 322 year old crib. Kinda don't even wanna think about it till the time comes. Really wonderful work youve done. good luck (not that you need it)
Be well
Stay fit
Namaste
Andy......PS...tell me about the Big Foot saw...wormer and sidewinder.....kinda expensive.....well...really expensive.It's not who's right, it's who's left ~ http://CLIFFORDRENOVATIONS.COM
Andy,
On Joe's (Framer) recommendation, we bought the Bigfoot with the swingtable. I'm glad we bought it. It is really a great tool. I agree with Joe that every framer needs to have one. I'll let him extol the virtues, but on our jobsite we have all fallen in love.
Andy,
Thanks, How are you doing?
Are you getting much snow?
I have about 2-15/16" already.
I'm glad to see that your house is coming along. New Jersey is not to far. If you need help, I'll point my Box Truck in your direction.
I hope that I'm not annoying people with all these pictures but I'm a GOON when it comes to a computer and for me not to no how to do something like when I'm Framing, if there's something I haven't done befor I wont stop until I get it right.
Maybe in a couple hours I'll go out and Frame a snowman with a 12/12 pitch Bay Roof on his head with my son Joey ;-)
Joe Carola
Framer Drop me an E-mail and tell me how you do the thumbnail thing will ya? ThanksBob
"Rather be a hammer than a nail"
Pro-Dek
To be honest with you I don't even remember setting it this way. I think if you scroll down to the bottom of this page you'll see the thumbs, click on thumbs up.
Try it and then post back.
Joe Carola
Joe the thumbs up just notifies you with a "rating of interest" as to what you personally want to take the time to read on this site.
You have posted you pictures to a carrier or formated them to a program where they can be accesed by others to look at.
Do you know which program or carrier that is?Bob
"Rather be a hammer than a nail"
Pro-Dek,
Sorry for being so Dense with this. The last set of pictures that I posted were installed in my computer from a Kodak Disc.
I installed them in my desktop and then loaded them one by one.
The first set of three that I tried I had pasted them, I thought they would all go through at once.
Hope I'm getting closer to answering your question. If not I'll call you if you want and try to explain what I did.
Joe Carola
Joe, Pro wants to know how you setup the thumbs on the website, not how you uploaded pictures here. Your site
Pro-Dek,
My apologies again.
The link to the sight that has all those pictures of the house I framed is the homeowners website. He took all those picturesand put them on his sight and then gave me the link so I could post them here.
He owns his own computer company and also builds them. He built my computer.
Your talking about each time you click the arrow it goes to the next picture. If there's any specific questions you want me to ask him I will.
Again sorry for being so stupid with my answers.

How "cool" is this....that you live so close to me. Yep.....we're up to
3 13/16" of snow so far as far as I can measure with my stick ruler off my eave roof edge (while I was cleanin' out the gutters.......yeh sure,) No kiddin though.......sure would be cool to get you here in the early spring to help me frame the addition to this 1680's crib.
Later
Namaste
AndyIt's not who's right, it's who's left ~ http://CLIFFORDRENOVATIONS.COM
You guys are cracking me up with the snow measurements to the 16th.
Only a carpenter...
Andy,
The snow is about 72/16" now and counting.
I'm starting to cut the bay hips for frosty's hat now ;-)
Let's keep in touch for your house I'd love to work on it.
Joe Carola
Framer
Just walked in and I took out my stick ruler again..swear dude...in my backyard it measures EXACTLY 11 15/16". Now dats cool (so to speak) for this time O year here on Lawng Island.
The historic society all left here this morning and it looks like I have the thumbs up for the addition. Have to meet again at town hall this Monday. they might want me to set back my garage/barn/shop towards the back of the house but I'm gonna scream at them about that. It'll end up looking like an attachment rather then part of the house. They wanna see the whole original house but tell ya what....kiss my azz......there were many new things done over the years here and Iplan on stayin' and dont figure this to be a museum as they see it. Aint choppin anything off it so.....theyre gonna get some rant by me on Monday if they screw around with me. You all know me well enough to probably wanna be at town hall Monday to hear me go off on em'. My wife just laughs and says she can't wait to hear me up there if they change what I want. LOL....Hey.its all part of the history of this ol house. Was first ownerd in 1680 by Andrus Titus..now owned by Andrus Clifford,,,,lol
I'll be calling you in the early spring to see if you wanna give me a week or so framing here with me. I'll send you a set of plans if you want. Send me an Email with yer address and phone #. Aught to be a serious gas.
Be well
Namaste'
Andy PS. Ya think the Piffmiester might wanna come join in? Plenty of room here for you all. That would reallyyyyyy be fun and thats what its all about. what an article for FHB that'd be.......now what would we call it?hmmmm.....Framer for excellance, Namaste'............lolIt's not who's right, it's who's left ~ http://CLIFFORDRENOVATIONS.COM
Andy,
You have me beat, you have 11-15/16" I only have 8-13/16' .
Some people might wonder what we're talking about, It's SNOW ;-)
Andy, it's sounds like a plan, I'll e-mail you all the info.
Piffin, If your out there, are you game?
I think we would have some fun. We might even get some work done.
Joe Carola
Uh, What did I miss? My wife says I smell kind of gamey sometimes. Other times she says I smell like a man, LOL
Anyway, What am I game for?.

Andy Clifford wanted know if we could join him with framing his addition this spring.
Sounds like fun. Are you in Maine?

It could be fun but that is my rush time of year and my wiffe has a long honeydew list. But maybe someday...

Maybe even the Boss meiester might help and Luvditchburns outta Penn.....I know fer a fact that Bear will be here......after all I aint askin' anyone to do it fer free. Geez. Or even a discount fer that matter. Just thought it'd be fun is all. I certainly can do it myself but just thought it'd be fun. Aint gonna be that bigga framing job. NYC is only 45 minutes away and free housing here. thought our families could have a gas. Whatta I know? Paid and free housing and tunes and fun. spose I may be off for some reason. Just thought I'd ask.
Be a wall
Namaste
andy....
please Email me yer info so I can contact you if yer interested......I'm figurin an Andy fest the day after you all wanna quit framing. Whatever you all want!You don’t complete your inner work before you do your outer work. Nor do you say, "Well, the hell with the inner work: I’ll go do the outer work because it’s so important and pressing." That’s not conscious either.

Tim, here's an excerpt...
"I think maybe you are typing in the web adress for the links you put up and making some little minor mistake is why it is not always working.
Here's what I do. I use another window to navigate to the site through bookmarks/favorites/search google or whatever. Then I highlight the URL adress box at the top and right click it. I "copy".
Then I go to the other window and my Breaktime posting and I right click in that field and choose "paste"
That way the computer does all the work and I get the whole enchilada .

Good Lord Man! That 's a slew.
Funny, I saw the post a while back and the address wasn't there or wasn't highligted. Did you come back and add it as an 'edit'?
If the 'deleted messages' tag keeps coming up maybe Brian'll have a fit in tommorrow thinking there's girly photos being exchanged. Ha! Half of good livin' is staying out of bad situations.
Oh gosh! This will now go on to add to the myth of piffin's powers- no I can't edit Joe's posts. He's been working on those.
I've never seen such a slide show either. It looks like Joe had a customer who was really into web photos and put them all together.
Joe, In one of those, it looks like you have one of those old monstrous heavy wooden extension ladders?.

Sorry about all the BS.

I'll check my email. Thanks.
What program are you using to post all those thumbnails on one page? I have to get it for all my shots. I like the way it turns into a slide shoe if you click on the thumbnail. It all downloads really fast here. Great shots........Bob
