Question about the older framer in Spokane who tapped my stud layout with his hammer and didn't say a word
Back when I was green, I helped frame a garage in Spokane and an older guy on the crew walked over while I was laying out studs. He didn't chew me out or give a speech. He just tapped two spots on my plates with his hammer handle, gave me a look, and walked off to keep cutting. I stood there for a minute before it clicked. My 16 inch marks had drifted almost a half inch by the end of the wall because I kept pulling the tape from the last line instead of the end. He caught it with two taps and zero words. These days I buy tapes with clear markings and I check myself from the start end again halfway down, and it saves me real time. Anyone else get taught by a silent nod instead of a long talk, and what was the thing they pointed out?
