Anyway do your research on it figure out if its what your looking for if your already invested in makita this is pretty much the most powerful impact you can get

Makita makes one of the most powerful impacts right now the td14 i forget the whole modle number but its made in japan and beats out the new fuel gen 2 you can order one from atlas machinery other then that you would havw to order from a guy in japan on ebay
they come in green black the regular blue and gold they are compact and powerfulSent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

That's some serious framing! Gonna keep the tools busy.

We do back framing aswell but we aint no finish carpenters lol prob 2 more weeks on this house then start the one beside itGreat looking project Toronto, how long you figure you will be on site? Are you strictly rough framing or finish work as well? I bet your new Makita Coil nailer is kicking some ass on this job

Ya under contract im not sure the builder but my boss and his guys have done a bunch of houses for him this house would be number 8 for this builder and the house beside it will obviously be number 9 soo ya i geuss the builder likes his work lolWho's the builder of those homes.

Ya my boss would pick them up with a strap around his forks on his zoom boom he lift them me and a next guy would get the into place and nail em in befor that we cut all the 2x8s and nail them together and built the wallsNice work TMan! Those walls look really heavy. I've helped my dad on smaller one story houses, but nothing to that scale. Awesome work

In one of the periscopes Eric said he is a Makita fan.

Ya the funny thing is the 2 houses we are building are bigger then those 2 across the street but ya you should see the house to the left of the one im building its not gonna see sun light again hhahahGreat work,
I bet the guy that owns the simple brick ranch across the street loves his neighbor to the right. That house is huge in comparison, it makes the ranch looks like it's the servants quarters,

Oh ya no ballon framing anywhere up here haga most exterior walls are 2x6s ecept for these 21 fters those are double 2x8s with 4 rows of blocking because the hightBalloon framing is a style of wood-house building that uses long, vertical 2" x 4"s for the exterior walls. These long "studs" extend uninterrupted, from the sill on top of the foundation, all the way up to the roof.
Deck framing build your walls on the deck then raise the walls build a deck on top of you walls then repeat.
