jackson, Wyoming Frame Job



This was a job i came out to help on in Jackson, Wyoming in the fall of 2009. The first floor was 80% framed up.. While I was there we set several cross beams which were to hold up the second floor. After which we set several gables for the second floor roof... this was in my opinion quite a feat with each of the four gables weighing in excess of 1500 lbs. when sheathed while on the floor.
