Frame It Well

If you’re a DIY kind of man you will likely find yourself in a project that needs a good frame. Whether it be a deck, a treehouse, a chicken coop, or finishing the basement, build it to last... and meet code.

After you’ve plotted, planned, measured 6 times, and purchased your lumber, you’ll be good to go. Get your DIY game-face on and get to construction.

Lay out your frame and center your braces at 16″. Nail em or screw em together and you’ve got a frame that will last.

Hot as...

Heck, it happens every year. 

The mercury climbs and people lose their minds. 

Bill: “Ugghhh, it’s sooooo hot today. I feel like I’m melting.”

Trevor: “I know, I can’t believe it. I feel like I can’t see straight.”

Hey Bill and Trevor, stop it. You’re sitting in the comfort of an air-conditioned room. Men don’t complain. Especially about things they can’t control, like the weather.

P.S. Bill and Trevor will also complain when it gets cold in the winter.
