So he got out the plans.
He and His Sweetie had picked up some lumber on one of their trips into town. And with a brand new 5lb box of nails, he was ready to go.
With the high cost of lumber these days, one can't be too careful.
Here you can see his tape being used to check and recheck this precious 2x4.
After another check, just to be sure, it was time for the moment of truth.
This time, things went right.
It should be noted that this project, like most of what The Fuzz is involved with, is a work in progress. As a result, the plans often go though certain, Modifications.
This particular modification called for replacing a 2x4 with a 4x4. This seemed like a good idea to The Fuzz, since this piece would have to carry the weight of the ridge piece. Fortunately, he already had a pretty solid 4x4 on hand.
This did cause a slight complication, as The Fuzz's saw is incapable of cutting all the way though a 4x4. (actually more like a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2) But that Resourceful Fuzz easily solved this dilemma by simply cutting halfway though, and then, flipping the thing!*
And here is a look at this piece of wall frame, waiting to be raised into position. But that will have to wait just a bit longer.
*This exciting Techno-Tip also works with chainsaws on large trees!
