Some of the work I've seen here
surely deserves to be included.

Re: Contest


A couple of guys come to mind also.


But can we live with them if they win the nail gun trophy?

That is the question you should have asked yourself before posting this, Neo.

You are our wise elder so I will assume you thought this through.



Actually, I am already rooting for my boy. God knows he has the pictures.
Warren has a shot too. Let the best nail bender win.

Re: Contest


I have same problem Clem. Not to mention photography is not my strong suit.
This house we framed in 05. Pics do not do it justice. The two connecting "wings" of the house are actually curved. Architect had the called out as stick framed, which would have been a real pain. ridge board would have to have been radiused. Trusses were made which were all the same but had to be spaced perfectly.The main roof was a 16/12 pitch with a 10/12 kickout at the bottom.

I'm sure you can. Lets see what happens.
Nothing ventured nothing gained.

You don't have a hair on the arse if you don't.

Re: Contest


I read the rules and I'm not sure I want to enter. Here is the sentence that I don't like

"All entries become the property of the Sponsor and may be published in any media and in any format at any time they wish in perpetuity."

So would I get in trouble for using the same images in advertising? If so, then I'm not going to enter.

Any thoughts?

Thanks Neo. I really do appreciate it. It has been slow and looking through framing pictures makes me want to get out and frame real bad.

Generally no - you own the originals & they will state that the photo you sent in was taken by you (a quick email to them would clear it up... just make sure you save it )

Oh I am also not a lawyer & I haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn Express for years, so take it for what it's worth

No Kidding. I Have to confess Tim, luckily things have picked up again, but back in the dark winter of no framing I kept coming on here and looking at your framing pictures. I then had to resort to sitting in my shop and looking at my tools. Its been a tough year.

You have nothing to worry about. He is nothing but a Domey.

Just between me and you, that dome is pretty cool.
