I’m amazed by the difference in building quality between our house and the scaffolding that the framing crew uses to get 25 feet up. None of the boards line up, half the nails don’t hit the other piece of wood. Do these guys dare each other to get on this stuff?
On Friday I saw a guy putting up plywood above the second floor. He had a nail gun in one hand, was holding onto the edge of the roof with the other, and was using one leg to hold the board in place. His left boot was barely gripping the edge of the scaffolding, the end of the 2×4 support bouncing up and down off the ground under him.

Note to self: Don’t tell wife how I got that shot.
