I used to lay flooring for awhile when I was younger, and yeah it does get hard on a guy. I found laying hardwood the worst though. Since im a taller guy, Im always bent over to hit the auto nailer with the hammer, and man I get sore from being bent over!

Sweet deal DJ, what kinda work are you doing?

I worked away from home alot, and the money was really good, but it sucked. I wasnt married then and didnt have kids, and it sucked, I couldnt imagine having a kid I couldnt see every night.

hello

Hey Morris how's the weather up their. I made a ford man eat crow the other day had to rescue him with my dodge. Stuck to the frame , 2 other 3/ 4 tons try to tug him out and couldn't , didn't have enough weight It took about 60ft of tow strap and 5 good hard tugs. man it had a grip on that truck, anyone with any brain wouldn't have put that truck were he was. But got a good laugh out of it . Roy

Good evening Steve, Roy and Jack.
The weather isn`t what I call great, lately there`s been alot of rain, fairly winding at times and it`s been too cool. We`re having another late spring.

wuss... use a manual nailer which requires 3-4 smacks...do 6-700 sqft in a day...then you might know what sore is

morning all...we're off to minot this weekend to pick up a new toy for me...
