Laying the sub-floor in 4 by 8 foot sections.
We lay the studs flat before we nail them together.
Ward and Richard laying the last three inches of the sub-floor. Too bad houses aren't built in increments of four feet.
Steve nailing with Ward's magic hammer.
As is common, one person working (Duane) while three persons watch.
Since Duane is doing the hammering, we need the sledge hammer handy just in case he goofs up.
Brad, Ward, Kurt and Gary.
Kaji and Tommy
