I spent a summer during college framing houses. We were mostly working on residential properties, but had occasional commercial projects, too. I became very familar with the "tools of the trade" including various saws, nail guns, tape measures, and other traditional construction tools. Much of this knowledge became handy when my wife and I restored an antique farmhouse from 2015-2019, tackling projects to include refinishing antique wood trim and flooring, basic plumbing updates, installing new kitchen cabinets and appliances, landscaping, deck and railings, basic electric, and other common rehab tasks.
