After mastering some complex plumbing skills, it was time to turn to framing. For this, we needed good old American horsepower. We rented this compressor and a nail gun(!) from Lowe's to do some real manly work. As a risk management professional of some sort, I found it amazing that they gave us all this very high powered equipment without a single clue or instruction about how to put it all together and operate it without grave danger to everyone. Of course, being men we would certainly not ask for directions! We know these things from birth.
