Like they say "A little putty a little paint, will make a carpenter what he aint"

I knew a framer like that. He always said "Let the finishers worry about it"

12 pack and a # of nails

It looks fine, from my house.

Yep, once a carpenter always a carpenter!

don't know how old it is but it was still working!!! not what i would want BUT

Take away the electric and insulation and that is my deer stand.

We’re not building a church. You could always fix it , go get the sawzall.

Well, besides structural weakness (no headers) on a load bearing wall, etc., the window itself appears to be a slider window turned sideways to act as a double hung window (??)

you can't tell if there is a header or not behind the insulation. its a DH window not a slider from the looks of the sash locks. could be on a gable wall with trusses thus no bearing needed

What I want to know is why is the wall opened up, remodel or what?

Y’all would down right ROFL if you saw the way I build stuff

Yup. There are a lot of guys that can buy a truck load of tools but only a few are carpenters.

That is true that you can't tell if there is a header behind that insulation or not. But what we know for certain is that there are no 'trimmers' or cripples supporting a header if there is one hidden behind the insulation. We can see that there are only two full studs from the top plate to the bottom. Nothing to support a hidden header

Looks like the window was added later . Probably from the outside only


Original stud spacing was correct until Joe homeowner came along ?

This was a cool framing project this week.

Is the flat part of the rafter end to accomidate rain gutter? Looks nice.

Smoke, the facia board fits in the notch on the top, owner says the house was built around ww1, I mactched what the previous carpenter did with most likely a coping saw, glad I had the dewalt.

Sharp -looking carpenter work, newfox1.
