Measure 3 times cut once..lol
 

that is the golden rule for carpentry and i just found out the hard way...lol


been building my walls in the basement...so just framing the wood..today i screwed together an 8 foot section and then found out i forgot to cut the vertical pieces to the proper length.....sigh

naw dude. Measure once, cut 23 times. Much easier :thumbsup

Ouch, that's fucked up...

I feel your pain man.

May not be easier, but it's DEFINITELY more fun! :1orglaugh

haha yeah..im making all kinds of mistakes


yesterday i aligned the vertical pieces on the wrong side...so basically..the top parts were every 16 inches..but the bottoms were every 15 or so

stupid shit.

ah well..tomorrow i will be on the ball..have to learn..might as well make the rookie mistakes now

Doesn't sound too good there.

can't believe you learned that rule twice in the same construction adventure.. lol

I will probably learn it again...ah well

Sometimes it's cheaper to hire a Carpenter ;-)

yeah i hate doing any kind of carpentry work, i always hire that stuff out. i dont mind putting in hardwood floors or tile because you can cut and be and 1/8 of an inch off and it wont matter.

haha..yeah...but im doing th is at about 1/6th the cost


and you know me man..im cheap as fuck....ill cross the street to save a buck..lol

also..good learning experience for me..as well as some minor excercise

hardwood floors is project number two


that is much easier though you are right...also i have done someone elses hardwood floors with them...so im thinking smooth sailing for that....should be doing it this fall:)
