House Framing

Before I got into the marketing field, I worked in the construction industry. My partner and I were both 17 when we framed our first house. There is something about the hard, honest work that is extremely satisfying. Watching a house appear from a barren patch of dirt and knowing it came from your efforts is an amazing feeling. People as a whole enjoy the concept of instant gratification, and framing definitely taps into that. With the sun beating down, it feels like you can never drink enough water and you will never be able to pull all the splinters out of your hands. However, when the sun goes down and you un-sling your tool belt, the fruits of the days labor are always apparent. Even as you are laying down in bed, it still seems as if the reverberating echoes of nail guns are still pounding in your ears and the omnipresent weight of your nail bags is still strung around your waist. Sleep comes easy to your weary body and you can rest easy, satisfied from a good days work. When the alarms wakes you before dawn and you are drinking coffee on the way to the job, your spirits have never been higher as you look forward to another great day under a brilliant sunrise.
