Tools of the trade

Air compressor and on the left bucket of tools.

On the left: drills. Back left: electric cords. Back: three halogen lamps, 250 watt max. Near right: framing nailer, and other air nailers. No - Canadian whiskey box is not full of whiskey - a recycled box.

Sawhorse brackets and knee pads.

Hand tools. Yellow chisels. Framing hammers. Blue and yellow pencils. Yellow steel punches. Lower left: folding razor knife. Three wrecking bars. Gray handled "bear saw." Two pairs of Mechanix gloves - awesome. Left side: mustard colored nail puller. Small Bostitch finish nailer. Blue packaged file. Upper right: air tool connectors. Lower right: five gallon bucket to store it all.


Another view of above picture. Sharon - I am not standing on your coffee table to take this picture, I jumped and snapped the picture. :)

Two cordless drill/screw drivers, were used to drive screws to attach sub-floor. Jig saw and "saws-all" reciprocating saw.

On the left: framing nailer. On the right: finish nailer.

Bigger picture of framing nailer. Notice on the back a hook to hang nailer from ladder rung or framing.

Electrical cords and three for one connectors. Heavy gauge wire needed for power hogs like saws and air compressor.

Lighting.

Tools packed and ready for work!

January 8 2012

View from front door. Started at back of house, pretty wood creeping to front door.


View from stairs going downstairs. Running two air lines, finish nailer and flooring stapler. Notice "bull nose" where flooring ends at top of stairs.


David peeking from behind kitchen counter, working on small amount of flooring below kitchen counter. Bottom of steps no finished wood flooring, but finished floor creeping to front windows.


Better view of finished floor creeping to front windows. Notice smaller carpenter's hammer, as framing has been completed. Need the correct tool for each phase of the project.


Warm enough in January to have small black fan at front door - trying to keep dust from house. Foreground is kitchen counter, bottled water and red halogen lamp.


End of wood railing, where attaches to wall at front of the house. This is by front door.


Happy carpenter - David.


View from front door.


View from several steps up - headed to third floor.


On right side of picture subfloor. Notice measured, upside-down, and cut bullnose with white label , waiting for installation. Back of picture is kitchen counter, at bottom of counter, putting down finished floor.
